Today, CI/CD for pure software products is well understood. But hardware dependencies and embedded development complicate the picture. In embedded systems, software may be only a part number in a physical product, often tied to a particular hardware configuration, approved before release, and costly to change in the field. Yet programs must still deliver on time, while continuing to meet requirements for certification, traceability, and supply chain security.

In this webinar, speakers from Qt Group and GitLab will discuss the challenges inherent to building and testing on embedded systems, particularly in regulated industries like aerospace and defense, and opportunities to overcome them.

Significant improvements to efficiency, robustness, and reproducibility can be found by using test tools designed specifically for embedded development. Modern tooling provides for integration of target hardware into CI/CD and leverages automation to reduce manual testing, while increasing reliability, auditability and reproducibility.

Proof is becoming a condition of sale. The EU Cyber Resilience Act starts imposing vulnerability reporting duties on 11 September 2026. It joins established standards such as DO-178C and DO-330, which already govern airborne software and the tools used to verify it.

All of them ask for evidence of how the software was built.
