Read this paper to learn 11 best practice peer code review tips to optimize review sessions, improve code, and make the most of valuable time. Some of the key findings include how many lines of code you should review in an hour, annotating code before you begin reviewing, leveraging a check list system, and more. 

Basis path testing, also known as Structured Testing, is the primary code-based testing strategy recommended by McCabe Software and supported by McCabe IQ. The main idea behind this testing is that decision outcomes within a software function should be tested independently. This article provides an overview of the benefits of basis path testing. 

This webcast introduces a program that can help you easily create games for a variety of platforms, including Windows 8 and Windows Phone, up to 80 percent faster than coding for native languages.  Watch to learn how using one source code, you can produce ready-to-run executables and store-ready apps for multiple platforms. 

The repercussions of releasing unsecure software in today’s markets are severe – due in large part to the proliferation of constantly-connected, mobile devices. This white paper provides an overview of these challenges, and demonstrates the steps you can take to arm your developers against the risks of modern application development. 

This application note provides a detailed tutorial of how to use the features of the MIPS Core PSP within Prism. End users who are either considering migrating existing software applications onto the 34K or 1004K core, or who already use those cores but wish to optimize their operation are the target audience for this paper. 

Backdoors pose operational risk to software that is too significant for organizations to ignore. Binary-level application testing (also called compiled-code analysis) makes it possible to examine the entire application in its final “as delivered” form. Read this white paper to learn more about protecting applications from backdoor vulnerabilities.
