Chuck Gehman, Perforce Software, explains the integral role that software will have in the cars of tomorrow. Automotive software is being developed at an unprecedented scale. Future vehicles will have more than a billion lines of code. With an estimated 50% of a future vehicle’s value being derived from its software capabilities, development of that software plays a more crucial role than ever before. 

The rapid growth of the IoT market has put huge pressure on software development process. Not only do connected devices need to be brought to market fast, be cost effective and work efficiently, they often also require regular software updates, and in many cases, to comply with safety and security standards. By Chuck Gehman, Perforce Software.

Balancing innovation and compliance is a challenge in any heavily regulated market with a large dependency on embedded software. Gerhard Kruger, Perforce Software, discusses further.

It has been announced that the portfolio from Perforce will be showcased at embedded world. The range reportedly now supports embedded systems designers at every stage of the software lifecycle, with the aim to help teams work more securely and faster, shorten testing processes, discover vulnerabilities early and create consistently high-quality code that meets compliance standards.

By its very nature, the Internet of Things (IoT) introduces greater dependency on good software - more so than ever before. The IoT also brings increased software development challenges, thanks to the wide variety of different components (such as sensors), control systems and other digital sources to connect, and where these ‘assets’ comprise far more than just code. Perforce Software explain.
