What Can and Should be Automated in Software Development?

-
Writing efficient, error-free, and cost-effective software that meets client requirements is hard. One of the most effective ways of achieving these goals is by understanding and embracing automation in the software development process. Automation helps streamline development by reducing developer workload and providing a standardized structure to your development processes. There are a lot of exciting opportunities and competing ideas about precisely what and how automation should be used in the software development process.

Why Automate Software Development

A lot of what defines software development practices today is ultimately about speed. CI/CD, agile, AI, and DevOps are all slightly buzz-wordy terms, but they all relate to software development methodologies that emphasize creating and deploying code quickly. Modern software development life cycles (SDLC) are short as teams compete to deliver and refine their product in a crowded marketplace.

It’s no surprise then that teams looking to shorten their SDLC and time-to-market on new features are looking to software automation to help save time, cut costs and improve efficiency. A lot of aspects of software development are highly repetitive and time-consuming, so it makes sense that these areas are some of the most popular candidates for automation.

Underwater Autonomous Vehicles Helping Navy Get More for the Money

By AI Trends Staff     As the  US Navy  strives to get to a 355-ship fleet by 2034, part of a 30-year plan the Navy outlined in 2019, it is finding it economical to use underwater autonomous vehicles. They meet many of the requirements of larger submarines at a fraction of the cost.     For example, the Navy awarded Boeing a $43-million contract to build four Orca Extra Large Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (XLUUVs) last year, described in a release from  USNI News .      Boeing based its winning Orca XLUUV design on its Echo Voyager unmanned diesel-electric submersible. The 51-foot-long submersible is launched from a pier and can operate autonomously while sailing up to 6,500 nautical miles without being connected to a manned mother ship, according to the Navy.   In military spending terms, the versatility of the Orca at the price is “fairly unheard of in military spending,” according to an account in  The National Interest . The nearest equivalent was cited as the Navy’s Littoral Com

Canada regulator seeks information from public on Rogers-Shaw deal

-
(Reuters) - A Canadian regulator on Tuesday asked for information from the public on telecom company Rogers Communications Inc's planned C$20 billion ($16 billion) purchase of Shaw Communications Inc to check for competition concerns. The deal announced in March to create Canada's second-largest cellular and cable operator has attracted regulatory scrutiny. The Competition Bureau said in August it obtained court orders to advance its review. The regulator on Tuesday asked market participants and Canadians to come forth with information that could assist the regulator's probe on whether the deal will reduce or prevent competition. The Competition Bureau said its review was ongoing and no conclusions have been made. ... Read More on Datafloq
