Detecting and Analyzing Redundant Code
As software development projects grow in scope, it is very easy for them to add redundant layers of code. By analyzing several large open source projects on GitHub, the author presents his findings as to the amount of redundant code each project has and shares some recommendations as to how all projects can improve their own code management.

Yes, Hardware Can Be Agile!
“You can’t do 2-week iterations with hardware!” This is the first thing you’ll hear when talk turns to Agile methods in hardware-software product development. A mix of existing robust hardware development ideas, plus a few newly taken from Agile software are being used now by real teams, even to get around - or through - the challenge of doing fast iterations.

God-Mode in Production Code
Takipi is trying to level out the playing field between dev and prod debugging by making it just as easy to debug Java and Scala code in production as it is on your desktop. It detects errors and exceptions in server code, provides analytics to help prioritize them, and captures the source code and values of variables that caused them.

.NET Static Analysis and Parasoft dotTEST
Static analysis has a broad set of capabilities to offer the .NET world. It can enforce pattern-based rules, whether they're based on proven standards or custom patterns that help you identify application-specific defects. Nevertheless, some defects cannot be detected by this analysis technique. The flow analysis feature of dotTEST does exactly that.
