by Joshua Goins | CXX-Qt now unifies Rust and Qt logging by forwarding messages from crates like tracing into the Qt logger. This provides consistent formatting, simpler configuration, and easy redirection of logs, while leveraging Qt’s categories, filters, and tools such as GammaRay. A custom subscriber layer bridges tracing events into Qt, giving developers one streamlined logging system. Read on. |

by Milian Wolff | Strong testing is essential for reliable, maintainable software—especially in embedded systems. Unit tests, solid coverage, and fast feedback loops keep code dependable. Data-driven testing scales edge cases efficiently, while HAL, HIL, or virtualized hardware help validate hardware-related features. Lightweight crash and in-field reporting complete the picture, ensuring issues are caught and resolved quickly. Read more. |
