11. Software Development Tools
Key takeaways
Highly Fragmented Market
Three suppliers represent approximately 50% of the commercial market
Market Under Pressure
Migration from proprietary / in-house developed OSes
OS suppliers offering integrated and optimized tools
Hardware and silicon suppliers finding value bringing tool offerings in-house
Open source solutions popular with developers looking for low, no-cost development tool solutions
Complexity Driving the Use of More Sophisticated Tools
Span software development lifecycle from requirements definition through post-deployment
What You Need To Know
For product information – engineers look to peers / co-workers, industry pubs, and on-line forums
Processor selection rules – first component selected
Cost, ease of use, technical capabilities and past experience key factors in selection
Make sure development tools can be used on Windows-based host development platform
