Ecast: Life-cycle management software for embedded designers

Ecast Description:

If you've ever written more than a few hundred lines of code, you're acutely aware that the water gets really deep really quickly as you wade into a large project. Issues like requirements management, modeling and simulation, design data and feature management, testing, build management, release and configuration management, version control, and more start to loom larger. Every software team has keep track of different builds for standard products, revision histories, and even custom customer variants with just slightly different software packages.

The first level of the Capability Maturity Model - Integrated is termed as competent people and heroics. This doesn't sound like much of a reliable strategy. The expectations on embedded systems for cost, reliability, and safety place much higher demands on today's designers to get a firm grip on life-cycle management issues. Whether your organization calls it product life-cycle management or application life-cycle management, it's necessary. And when the development teams are scattered around the world, you need solutions to manage the problem on a global scale.

This e-cast will offer up experts who have helped develop larger embedded projects, and who have seen the benefits of having a life-cycle management strategy first hand - and the risks in not having one. Too big a topic for just an hour, our experts will go into some of the life-cycle management methods in areas they find have the highest impact on making embedded projects successful. They'll present several case studies of real-world examples, and offer a handful of concrete solutions and suggestions for keeping track of life-cycle issues in embedded software development.
