Software testing is key when deploying and managing any Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system. Bla Sweeney at Keysight Technologies shares three important aspects to consider.
Embracing test automation for PLM software increases testing efficiency and frees teams up to focus on other important work, hitting release dates earlier and enhancing agility.
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems support vital functions throughout successful high-tech manufacturing, software, and electronics companies.
Initially beneficial for engineering teams, PLM now benefits every department involved in a product’s lifecycle by providing the right information in a timely fashion and assisting in production, planning, control, and revenue strategies.
Just as the ripple effect of PLM’s benefits can be felt throughout an organisation, any deployment errors can have a widespread negative impact on business operations.

The CrowdStrike outage was a vivid reminder of how interconnected the world’s systems are – and how dramatically every organisation can be affected. In the aftermath of the outage, Bla Sweeney at Keysight Technologies shares how every C-suite needs to be asking: how do we mitigate the risk of systemic software failure in our organisation?
Four suggestions that provide food for thought as we pursue the quest of building resilience into our systems, and minimising risks at both the systemic and organisational levels.
Before answering, let’s look at how and why we became so reliant on third party software.
The original software development lifecycle
Not too many years ago, the software development lifecycle (SDLC) took months, if not years.
Software was installed on-premise. We would only deploy it after extensive and exhaustive testing. Each time we wanted to upgrade the software to a newer, stable release, we’d go through the same process again. Some organizations did this each year. Many more waited several years because the investment in time and money was too much to consider on an annual basis.
The process was incredibly costly and inefficient. On the other hand, we were in control of our own destinies when something went wrong.
What changed?
Every company is a tech company
Well, everything changed.

Simon Rance at Keysight Technologies talks about the challenges associated with IP management for chiplet projects and how design teams can improve IP security and compliance.
Keysight IP Management (HUB) integrates with IP design tools from all major electronic design automation (EDA) vendors for seamless collaboration. For semiconductor IP designers and project managers using data management tools, Keysight HUB includes connectors for smooth integration.
Chiplets are making big waves in the semiconductor industry, with global market size expected to grow 71.3% from 2023 to 2031.
With integration of multiple technologies, semiconductor design teams are reinvigorating Moore’s Law, by paving the way for designs featuring multi-billion transistors and hundreds of semiconductor intellectual properties (IPs).
However, powerful chiplet-based architectures have also introduced a new level of complexity in managing intellectual properties (IPs), from stringent export controls to compliances and IP security risks.

With the advent of 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTNs), the landscape of satellite phone availability is undergoing a revolutionary transformation. Allison Freedman at Keysight Technologies shares that satellite service will be accessible to billions of mobile phone subscribers worldwide, heralding a new era of connectivity.
Traditionally, satellite communications have been reserved for specialised terminals with cumbersome antennas and costly subscription plans. But in a world where communication is paramount, access to reliable networks is not just a luxury but a necessity.
5G NTN, introduced as part of the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)’s Release 17, distinguishes itself from traditional satellite networks through network-assisted operations.
This innovative approach involves base stations assisting in establishing and managing cell phone connections to satellites.
5G NTN Technology Overview
By adjusting the timing of radio frames and compensating for link frequency errors caused by satellite movement, 5G NTN makes it easier for user terminals to tolerate satellite link characteristics.
