Are self-driving cars safe? The software in modern cars contains more than 100 million lines of code that enable many different features — cruise control, speed assistance, and parking cameras. And, the code within these embedded systems only gets more complex. This trend will continue as cars of the future become more connected. Cars are increasingly dependent on technology. And they will progressively become more autonomous — and ultimately self-driving.

Perforce has been contributing and working in open source for decades now. We understand that open source is the linchpin for technology that supports businesses today. Our approach to open source is not unique to the industry at large or a company of our size (we have around 1,700 employees and 800 are on my team), but questions of our approach to open source became much more visible when we acquired Puppet – which has a really dedicated open-source community and a long history with open source.

In January 2025, the European Union (EU) will begin enforcing a new regulation called the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA). The DORA regulation mandates sweeping cyber resilience requirements for financial institutions and third-party information and communication technology (ICT) providers. In this blog post, we examine how two core Perforce offerings help financial institutions and their supporting ecosystem of service providers comply with the requirements laid out in the DORA regulation.

Developing high-quality products involves careful definition and tracking of both functional and non-functional requirements (NFRs). But what exactly are non-functional requirements? And what's the best way to keep track of them? Let’s dive into what non-functional requirements are and how they compare to functional requirements, review some common types of non-functional requirements with examples, learn best practices for writing them, then discuss how to track and manage them.

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.

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. Read along or jump ahead to the section that interests you most: Manage Your ci/cd pipeline with Static Analysis.

With the ever increasing frequency of cyberattacks, software security is not only essential but necessary. The most effective and efficient practice for safeguarding software is with secure coding standards. When used effectively, these standards prevent, detect, and eliminate errors that could compromise software security. Even though secure coding standards are not overly complex, it can nevertheless be a challenge knowing when and how to use the right standard. For that reason, it is important that you learn about the key secure coding standards and how to comply with them.
