Open source software has had a revolutionary impact on the software industry. Most enterprise and commercial software development teams now mix open source with internal code to shorten software development schedules. However, open source and other third-party code introduce risks and challenges that must be managed, including hidden license obligations, security vulnerabilities and version proliferation.
We assist in building a robust processes that allow engineers and policy administrators to communicate and collaborate without grinding productivity.
- Manage use of mixed code. Manage mixed-origin code throughout the lifecycle. Black Duck solutions streamline the search, selection, approval, validation and tracking of software components, even across geographically dispersed organizations.
- Clarify roles & responsibilities. Provide engineers and managers with a framework for collaboration. Dashboards, detailed reports, full licensing text, and real-time alerts provide role-specific data views.
- Promote standardization & code reuse. Give engineers one place to go for a comprehensive collection of reusable open source and third-party code. Enable contributions to a growing, internal catalog of approved code.
Get to Know Your Code™ better with Black Duck. We can help you mitigate risks and grow the value of your software assets.
Black Duck Software
Using Open-Source & 3rd party components is a common way of accelerating the development cycle. When using such components, compliance the the components License Agreement is mandatory.
Working in distributed teams and with subcontractors, introduces a chalange to manage and enforce this important compliance requirement.
We use Black Duck Software technology to provide a complete solution to scan and build an approval process for including Open-Source.
M&A and Investment rounds: Before merging a company or investing in one, it is key to have a One-Time scan of the code in order to idetify Licenses issues that might impact the ownership of the Intellectual-Property. Many Open-Source licenses require that code using the Open-Source component will be contributed back to the community as Open-Source.
Shipment and Release of Embedded Code: Once code is embedded into a product and shipped to customers, it is practically impossible to fix a license infringement. Therefore scanning the code for unexpected components before its release is vital.
