    Developing High Reliability Software and Reducing Costs Using Ada

    Sept. 18, 2024
    Ada and SPARK are typically used for developing highly reliable software and it can reduce the cost of doing so.

    Ada and SPARK have typically been used for applications that require high levels of safety, reliability and security. These articles take a look at different aspects of the Ada programming langauge that make this possible as well as how well it works in reducing development costs as well. 

    High Reliability Software

    Applications that require high reliability are often require high levels of safety such as cars and planes. Programming languages like Ada, SPARK and Rust are designed to make it easier for developers to create this level of reliablity.
