Standard software development processes have been considered monolithic since they were typically created to handle varying project types and sizes as well as span across different development disciplines. As a result, these processes are often too light to be helpful or too heavy to be able to support Agile development. Ideal software processes are flexible, measurable, scalable, and require minimal fuss. Agile development practices have found to be an ideal solution to many software development issues. This webcast will discuss how to use these practices to ideally suit a project's particular needs.

Software can be dangerous. We use software for controlling aircraft, missiles, hospital equipment and more. Business and security-critical software is used for our companies, too, and should require the same tough quality review process that is expected of high-risk systems. Principal Analyst Bola Rotibi from Macehiter Ward-Dutton explains how static analysis can be used for improved software quality. In this whitepaper, she also gives practical advice for reviewing and selecting static analysis tools. Utilizing static analysis for in your software development process will not only improve the quality of your software but will help reduce maintenance costs by reducing defects early in the software lifecycle.
