Develop Faster.
Find and Reuse Open Source.

As a software developer, you face tough deadlines. Changing requirements, timing constraints and open source license policies can significantly hinder your creation of innovative new code. What’s the solution? Proven open source code can make development easier, faster and more successful.

For developers focused on solving problems and creating innovative software for their organizations, Black Duck Software offers solutions that will:

• Find Code. Reuse more code and complete projects faster with our comprehensive software search capability. Our solutions enable you to search through hundreds of thousands of open source components including: the Black Duck® KnowledgeBase™, internal catalogs of approved code, and code in your Enterprise’s repositories that has been indexed and made available.

• Select Code. Evaluate and select code based on extensive metadata including function, language, author, open source license, level of community activity and support, known security vulnerabilities, and more.

• Publish and Share. Automate code reuse, increase collaboration and produce results more quickly. Share your best work with colleagues by contributing to an enterprise-wide code catalog.
