Helix ALM by Perforce vs HP ALM by Micro Focus

Since HP ALM/Quality Center was acquired by Micro Focus (and now Open Text), users have been outgrowing its functionality. While HP upgraded many of its solutions to be more compatible with Agile and to support automation, ALM/Quality Center was left behind. What was once considered a best-in-class solution is becoming more obsolete by the day, having no resources allocated to development and limited support for customers. Today, there are better ALM options available.

Embedded Software Security for Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things

Technology is booming now more than ever, and every day brings new products and functionality for every unimaginable task. It is not just about mobile apps and computers anymore; instead, it is all about embedded systems and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices that have quickly become so commonplace, both in our day-to-day lives and in industries like industrial automation.

What Are Quality Gates?

Quality gates are just what they sound like: They ensure the delivery of high-quality software by serving as quality milestones (or “gates”) during various stages of the software development lifecycle (SDLC), preventing bad code from passing through. Here, we explain what are quality gates, how they work, and how to implement them using static analysis.

GitLab SAST: Using GitLab With Klocwork

GitLab SAST is a combination of GitLab— an integrated solution that covers the entire DevOps lifecycle — and, Klocwork — a static code analysis and SAST tool. When used together, these tools provide software development teams with a powerful GitLab SAST solution. Here we explain the benefits of GitLab SAST.

Branching Strategies Guide: Code Branching Strategy Best Practices

Having a dedicated branching strategy is key for teams wanting to speed up their workflows, meet tasks on a deadline, and reduce code errors. But with all the different branching strategies – including release branching, trunk-based branching, feature branching, and more – it can be difficult to determine which one best fits your team’s needs.

NASA's 10 Rules for Developing Safety-Critical Code

NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s Laboratory for Reliable Software developed a set of code guidelines for developing safety-critical code. The NASA's 10 rules are intended to eliminate C coding practices that make it difficult to review or properly analyze with static analysis tools. Enforce NASA's 10 Rules With Klocwork.

With AI Writing Code, Will AI Replace Software Engineers?

Software developers have plenty to keep them awake at night. Their top concern is no longer how to express the latest algorithm in their favorite language (C, C++, Erlang, Java, etc.). Instead, it’s being replaced by artificial intelligence (AI). Here we take a look at the process for AI writing code and answer the question: Will AI replace programmers? Read along or jump ahead to the section that interests you the most.

How to Achieve Enterprise Continuous Testing With Perforce

In the age of digital transformation, enterprise continuous testing has become critical for agile and efficient software development. But enterprises often spend too much time managing a multitude of solutions and integrations with zero cohesion between solutions and an inability to gain clear insights. It takes so much time to manage the areas around testing that there is little time for the most important part — the testing itself.

Cloud Game Development Solutions for Your Team

Game development has only grown more complicated as studios adjust to working with increasingly larger projects, globally distributed teams, and limited resources. It’s no surprise that teams are exploring alternative solutions, like cloud game development, to build their next break out game. The appeals of building a game in the cloud include its abilities to minimize developer and artist challenges and optimize your development pipeline.
