An embedded system is the combined hardware and software that work together to perform a specific function for a device controlled electronically. Embedded systems are found in a variety of products, in everything from large industrial machines to the mobile phone you hold in your hand; from the car you drive to the equipment in your local hospital. As technologies advance, systems become more complex, with the potential to use millions of lines of code and thousands of parts in their design. More intricate complexities create more potential challenges in embedded system design. No industry i ..read more

The Elements of Effective Defect Management When developing any product, the harder you look for problems before it goes to market, the better off you will be once it’s there. Software is designed to perform the same task, or set of tasks, over and over. Any unintended variation from that process is considered a defect. Managing and mitigating defects requires a strategic and systematic approach. Having a robust defect management process will help you catch defects early, reduce their impact, resolve the issues, prevent challenges moving forward, and improve your overall process.   ..read more

What is Embedded System Software? Embedded system software is a type of software that is used to operate electronic devices that are not traditional computers, or non-PC. It uses a microchip or another application that sits on top of the chip to control the specific functions for the device. Unlike a traditional computer, embedded software design is not transferable between devices and has fixed hardware capabilities and requirements. Embedded system software is made exclusively for a particular device depending on the device’s specified processing and memory restrictions. What is the Differe ..read more

As technology expands, so does software complexity and, oftentimes, the number of people working on a software project. Source code management (SCM) is a process software teams can use to easily manage work progress and track modifications to source code. Advantages of Source Code Management Source code management has great benefits for software engineering teams. First, it helps to easily manage their work progress. Source control strategies allow software teams to track their work, ensuring they can roll back changes and navigate between code versions quickly and seamlessly. If you are work ..read more
