To talk about C++’s current safety problems and solutions well, I need to include the context of the broad landscape of security and safety threats facing all software. When I say “safety” unqualified here, I mean programming language safety, which benefits both software security and software safety. Acknowledgments.

Recently there has been a surge of interest in C++ unit testing. C++ unit testing has not been common in C++ development in the past. Although C++ is a kind of programming language that fits well with unit testing, several complexities require extra care. In this article, I’ll discuss the most common pitfalls.

The IT world is rife with jargon — and “as code” is no exception. “As code” means simplifying complex and time-consuming tasks by automating some, or all, of their processes. Today, the composable nature of code enables skilled IT teams to create and customize automated solutions capable of improving efficiency.
