Game Asset Recycling - What You Need to Know

To meet the ever-increasing demand for new video games, teams need to move faster than ever. Keeping up with releases and producing new game assets can be challenging, even for the largest studios. To accelerate development without sacrificing quality, many teams look to past projects, and their corresponding game assets. Game asset recycling saves time, allowing coders and creatives to innovate using existing materials. But how can you share game assets across teams and projects? Learn how.

Secure Collaboration for Chip Design in Cloud Environments

Earlier this year, Perforce hosted the Embedded DevOps Summit, exploring solutions to modern challenges in the planning, development, and testing stages of embedded software. As part of this event, Warren Savage, Visiting Researcher at the Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security (ARLIS) at the University of Maryland, presented Secure Collaboration in Cloud-Based Chip Design Environments.

How to Generate Compliance Reports in Perforce Static Code Analyzers

Ensuring and verifying that your codebase is compliant with a particular coding standard or industry regulation can be a difficult and time-consuming process. However, by using a static code analysis tool — such as Helix QAC and Klocwork — you can generate a compliance report to see whether your codebase is compliant or not.

Game Development After Jira Server: Where Should Game Studios Turn?

As Atlassian has decided to deprecate their server products, including Jira Server and Confluence Server, game studios using these products have to look for alternatives, or swallow the cost to migrate to Atlassian’s other products (Cloud or Data Center).

Securing Your SQL Server Application: Enabling Client-Initiated Encrypted Connections

In the previous article we discussed how to enable a server initiated encrypted connection to a Microsoft SQL Server. But what if we have a scenario where we do not want to incur the overhead of encryption for every application? In that scenario instead of configuring the server to force encryption we will instead need the client to initiate the encrypted connection.

4 Reasons Why Visibility is Crucial in Lifecycle Management

Within application lifecycle management, one of the most significant challenges for practitioners and managers alike is visibility. More specifically, the lack of real-time visibility at any given moment of development. With a comprehensive lifecycle management tool like Helix ALM, your entire team can enjoy clear visibility throughout the lifecycle of your product. Here are four reasons why visibility is crucial for success in lifecycle management.
