Description

This podcast episode explores step three of modernizing embedded software development: adopting DevOps practices to solve the critical problem of late and over-budget project delivery in embedded systems. Host Jacob Beningo discusses the four core DevOps principles, presents a compelling case study of the Ariane 5 rocket failure that cost $500 million, and provides practical guidance for implementing CI/CD pipelines to improve software quality and delivery speed.Key Takeaways:• Only 35% of embedded development teams deliver projects on time, with most running 3-6 months late• DevOps focuses on incremental value delivery, improved collaboration, automation, and continuous improvement• The Ariane 5 rocket explosion ($500 million loss) could have been prevented with proper integration testing and CI/CD practices• Start DevOps implementation with automated builds using containers to create unified development environments• Enforce code quality and standards automatically within CI/CD pipelines using tools like Misra C/C++• Implement regression testing to catch bugs early when they're easier and less costly to fix• Use metrics analysis to automatically identify tight coupling and potential bug locations in code• Artifact management ensures traceability and ability to deliver specific software versions to customers• Deployment automation should at minimum enable automatic hardware testing, even if not direct customer deployment• DevOps creates a value feedback loop between companies and customers through observability and telemetry
