#54DAC: A New Beginning
By Michael MacNamara - 17 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

I’ve been attending DAC as an exhibitor since 1992, and serving on the executive committee since 2012. I am thrilled to serve as General Chair for the 54th iteration of this grand conference. (And no it’s not too early to think about DAC. The call for contributions is open now.) Through the years I have seen some big industry changes, most driven by the increasingly powerful tools and autom... » read more

Transforming Testing Through Automation
By Synopsys - 12 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

"Test your code as you write it.” That’s a common mantra heard in many development teams today. However, for too many, that practice remains a lofty goal as opposed to a business reality. They lack the appropriate metrics and processes to make and measure progress and often underestimate the effort required to manage the cultural change. In this paper you will learn how Coverity: Red... » read more

The Real Differences Between HW And SW
By Brian Bailey - 03 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

How many times have we heard people say that hardware and software do not speak the same language? The two often have different terms for essentially the same thing. What hardware calls constrained random test is what software people call fuzzing. Another one recently caught my eye in a conversation with Jama Software, a Portland software company that has made a name for itself in requiremen... » read more

Development Testing For C# Applications
By Synopsys - 28 Sep, 2016 - Comments: 0

Static analysis shouldn’t be about finding loads of coding style or standard issues. It should be focused on finding the most critical defects. Although traditional byte code analysis solutions such as FxCop are useful, they can miss critical, crash causing defects - plus produce a large set of coding style issues, which can slow down the development team. Learn how the Coverity Development T... » read more

Accelerate Time To Market With Change Impact Testing
By Synopsys - 07 Sep, 2016 - Comments: 0

QA teams don’t have time to test everything yet they can’t afford to ship buggy code. Teams waste precious resources on tests that have no relevance to the changes that were made to the application. And worse, there may be holes in the testing coverage which could lead to regression risk. Learn how Coverity can help organizations shrink their testing cycles and reduce regression risk by foc... » read more

Embedded Evolution
By Brian Bailey - 26 Aug, 2016 - Comments: 1

The design of embedded systems has changed drastically from the days when I was directly involved with them. My first job after leaving college was to design aircraft control systems. I had the dubious honor to be working on the first civilian fly-by-wire aircraft – the Airbus A310. The reason I say dubious is that we had so many eyes trained on us, and that system contained so much redundanc... » read more
