By: Barr Group The full analysis report is available for download at https://barrgroup.com/ Completed by more than 1,700 qualified professional designers of embedded systems, the 2018 Embedded Systems Safety & Security Survey assesses the state of product development practices of engineers from around the world (46 percent from North America, 33 percent from Europe, and 10 percent from Asia). While there have been some wins across the embedded systems industry overall — such as (1) greater numbers of developers of internet-connected devices including security as a product design requirement and (2) an increase in automating the enforcement of some coding standard rules — there has been no apparent progress in the specific area of safety-critical devices. "This year's survey confirms that products in development have become increasingly complex, for example, having more microprocessors aboard, which opens the door wider to opportunities for product malfunction," Of the industry-recommended design practices highlighted in the survey, the following statistics are of greatest concern: • 43% don't do regular code reviews • 41% don't perform regression testing • 38% don't comply with any safety standard • 33% don't use a static analysis tool • 17% don't follow any coding standard "Of safety-critical embedded products currently in development, two out of three target the medical, industrial, automotive, and defense/aerospace industries," 2018 Barr Group Embedded Systems Safety & Security Survey Results at Embedded World Join Barr Group at Embedded World in Nuremberg, Germany February 27–March 1, 2018, for two special presentations by Barr Group CTO Michael Barr, highlighting more detailed results from the 2018 Embedded Systems Safety & Security Survey. The following presentations will take place at the OpenSystems Media Embedded Pavilion located at Stand 3A-507: · February 27, 2018 (11:00AM–11: · February 28, 2018 (11:00AM–11: For more information about the Embedded Systems Safety and Security Survey, contact experts@barrgroup.com.
