Speed vs Security: Striking the Right Balance in Software Development with AI

Software development teams face a constant dilemma: striking the right balance between speed and security. How is artificial intelligence (AI) impacting this dilemma? With the increasing use of AI in the development process, it's essential to understand the risks involved and how we can maintain a secure environment without compromising on speed. Let’s dive in.

AI in Web Development: The Capability and Effectiveness of ChatGPT

The area of web development may be exhilarating and fascinating. Web developers build robust apps that support numerous users and fulfill a variety of functions by utilizing a variety of databases, frameworks, and programming languages. Even while it might be thrilling, developing a completely working website takes time and technical know-how.

Top open source licenses and legal risk for developers

If you’re a software developer, you’re probably using open source components and libraries to build software. You know those components are governed by different open source licenses, but do you know all the license details? In particular, do you know the sometimes-convoluted licensing conditions that could pose compliance challenges for your organization?

Top 4 software development methodologies

Successful software projects are managed well. To manage a project efficiently, the manager or development team must choose the software development methodology that will work best for the project at hand. All methodologies have different strengths and weaknesses and exist for different reasons. Here’s an overview of the most commonly used software development methodologies and why different methodologies exist.

Considerations before moving away from native apps

To some, native applications are rudimentary. Why write an application specific to one platform when you can build one that is cross-platform compatible? After all, expanding the user base is one of the most fundamental objectives for software development teams. Doing this quickly with the current “build apps for any screen” approach is the obvious choice.

Code Review Practices: Cultivating a Culture of Clean Code within Development Teams

Every day, development teams rely on reviews to ensure high-quality code, encourage knowledge sharing, and strengthen professional relationships. By including the whole team in driving the growth of the base and enforcing its standards, they provide developers with the certainty that their contributions achieve the highest standards. On top of that, they head off technical debt and bring attention to chances for praise and positive reinforcement.

Attesting to secure software development practices

It’s been almost three years since President Biden issued Executive Order 14028, and while we’ve heard vendors talk about “compliance with EO 14028” for about that long, the reality is that industry hasn’t had anything to comply with—until now. On March 11, CISA published the Secure Software Development Attestation Form as part of its obligations under OMB memo M-22-18 and the successor OMB memo M-23-16.
