DevOps practices have become a standard option for entities seeking to streamline and increase comprehensive participation by all stakeholders in their secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC). In most cases in industry, academics, and government, applying DevOps is a straightforward process. There is a subset of entities in these three sectors where applying those practices and principles is challenging. One of these entities is an embedded system as challenged by HW/SW integration for various reasons. The most often being general security and difficulties of early integrations where software and hardware development are executed concurrently as a complete system development effort fully supported by proven DevOps principles. Overall, the key idea is to develop program, performance, security, and quality metrics that are critical to a successfully executed software and embedded systems development project; introduce frequent synchronization points throughout software and hardware development cycles; make embedded systems development synchronization with software development practices for complex system’s use; and develop applicable tools to support the synchronization process for modern software and embedded systems development project.
