This is a Technicum podcast.

The field of software development is trying to keep up with a demand for new code.

And if there is ever a time to streamline the process, it's now.

From critical infrastructure systems to your smartwatch.

Software makes everything work. With embedded software everywhere,

it has become a necessity to implement new methods for engineers to produce good code at a rapid pace.

How is this done? Well, let's find out. I'm Peter Balland from Technicon, and today we take one last look at the Decoder project.

Decoder has built an integrated development environment as an open-source solution.

It will improve the efficiency of development, testing, verification, and validation providing a long overdue solution to

an efficient software development environment which can grow with our needs.

The Polytechnic University of Valencia is a partner in Decoder, and today we speak with

three of their contributors. We start with Associate Professor Tanya Forrest.

She gives an overview of the project.

Then we speak with Nacho Mancinet, a computer engineer.

And finally, we will hear from Borja Davo Calardo, a researcher and computer engineer.

Let's have a listen. Welcome to our podcast, Tanya. Yes, very nice to be here.

So we heard a bit about Decoder in the intro, but in your own words, tell us what the

Decoder Project is all about. Well, the main goal of the Decoder Project is to make effective

tools that will give software

developers enough knowledge to support them during the writing of their software.

So one of the problems that we see is that software engineers do not have enough information

to make smart decisions.
