Since the release of the Defense Innovation Board (DIB)'s Software Acquisition and Practices (SWAP) report in 2019, the Department of Defense (DoD) has focused on adopting and recommending DevSecOps best practices for aerospace and defense development and software acquisition, as detailed in the DoD's 2024 State of DevSecOps report.

Many organizations turn to database subsetting for various reasons. For one, cloning entire terabyte datasets could bankrupt your cloud budget. And masked data could leave your teams fumbling with unrealistic test scenarios. Why wouldn't you just grab the data you need? Sometimes, it really is that straightforward. For certain use cases — like lightweight testing scenarios, proof-of-concepts, or applications with simple data structures — subsetting delivers exactly what it promises.

Developer experience (DX) — the ability for developers to easily do their essential tasks — has become crucial for attracting and retaining talent. Skilled developers are in short supply, but demand for their expertise continues growing. I've seen companies forced to maximize their current workforce while competing globally for talent. I also consistently see companies unknowingly damaging their DX through poor processes in overlooked areas.

Version control, also known as “source control”, is a way of tracking, managing, and safeguarding changes to digital assets over time, so teams can collaborate efficiently without losing work or overwriting changes. Version control software automates this process, making it faster, safer, and more collaborative. But its real power goes beyond simple file history. It’s how teams stay in sync, move faster, and avoid losing work, especially when the pressure's on and deadlines are looming.

Find out which aerospace and defense industry trends you need to know. In this blog, we recap key aerospace and defense industry trends — and explore strategies to help you keep up.

As enterprises scale their DevOps initiatives, DevOps bottlenecks are emerging from an unexpected source: inadequate test data management practices. But what can you do about it? In this blog, we will explore the common drawbacks in traditional test data management practices. Then, let’s dive into how real-life enterprises are overcoming DevOps bottlenecks with proven solutions that accelerate delivery and reduce operational risks.

Intellectual property (IP) in semiconductor design refers to reusable design components that can be integrated into a larger chipan IC, SoC, or chiplet. These design blocks may be developed in-house or licensed from third-party vendors and are used in system-on-chip (SoC) design and production. With growing SoC complexity, increased market demand, and the rapid pace of innovation, adopting an IP-centric design approach is critical for staying competitive.

Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) collects known cybersecurity vulnerabilities and exposures to help you to better safeguard your embedded software. This framework is central to managing security threats effectively. Here, we explain what is CVE, unpack the role of CVE identifiers, examine the differences of CVE vs. CWE, expand on the CVE list, and outline how identifying vulnerabilities early in software development can be achieved with the right static analysis tools.
