Sustainable software engineering (SSE) is the practice of minimisingthe environmental cost of software. It is an emerging discipline at the intersection of climate science, software practices and architecture, electricity markets, hardware, and data centre design. In this report, we’ll look at which developers are involved in building sustainable software and which SSE principles are most commonly utilised. We’ll investigate how developers’ experience levels, location, and the size of the organisation they work for –amongst other factors –affect the rate at which they utilise SSE and which principles they most often adopt. Later, we’ll take a closer look at what motivates developers to utilise SSE principles, as well as which challenges they face in doing so. We’ll demonstrate how developers’ motivations and challenges change based on several different factors, such as their experience levels.

Securing the enterprise Understanding the current landscape of zero trust security Access the Full Report About this Report To keep up with the rapidly evolving landscape of threats, enterprises must adopt modern approaches to security. The zero trust approach to security is designed to reduce the attack surface by establishing trust in users and machines/devices through authentication, access policies, and security monitoring. In this report, commissioned by Cisco and authored by SlashData, we investigate the adoption of different zero trust approaches and the challenges they present.

This report explores how developers begin their IIoT journey: which development boards they start with, how they experience onboarding across tasks and ecosystems, and how these patterns differ by experience level, role, and region. The findings highlight where the industry is lowering technical barriers and where better documentation, community support, or learning pathways are still needed. Insights come from the 30th edition of the Developer Nation survey, which ran from June to August 2025 and reached 830 developers worldwide involved in IIoT projects.

Key Questions Answered Arduino is one of the most common starting points in IIoT, significantly ahead of other development boards, except for legacy microcontroller kits. One in eight developers cannot recall their first IIoT board, suggesting that IIoT entry is often informal and opportunistic. Newer entrants to IIoT and today’s students largely report starting with Arduino as their first development board.

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enables us to recognize when someone has visited our Website or opened an email including them. This allows us, for example, to monitor the traffic patterns of users from one page within a website to another, to deliver or communicate with cookies, to understand whether you have come to the website from an online advertisement displayed on a third-party website, to improve site performance, and to measure the success of email marketing campaigns. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning. Do you use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects?

If you do not want Flash Cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust the settings of your Flash player to block Flash Cookies storage using the tools contained in the Website Storage Settings Panel. You can also control Flash Cookies by going to the Global Storage Settings Panel and following the instructions (which may include instructions that explain, for example, how to delete existing Flash Cookies (referred to "information" on the Macromedia site), how to prevent Flash LSOs from being placed on your computer without your being asked, and (for Flash Player 8 and later) how to block Flash Cookies that are not being delivered by the operator of the page you are on at the time). Please note that setting the Flash Player to restrict or limit acceptance of Flash Cookies may reduce or impede the functionality of some Flash applications, including, potentially, Flash applications used in connection with our services or online content. Do you serve targeted advertising? Third parties may serve cookies on your computer or mobile device to serve advertising through our Website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services that you may be interested in.

A case study on how we helped a client's localisation team determine if machine translation was sufficient for optimal user experience. All Case Studies Measuring the effectiveness of machine translations The challenge The localisation team at a leading global technology company was using machine translations to make developer content accessible without the heavy demands of traditional translation workflows. The challenge was to determine if machine translation was sufficient or if additional localisation efforts were needed to ensure an optimal user experience. The approach SlashData worked closely with the client to understand their research objectives, and designed a methodology and a survey to measure the effectiveness of the client’s machine translations. SlashData gathered responses from around 700 developers who shared their experience using the client’s developer resources in their native language. The respondents were sourced through SlashData’s own developer community, as well as through vetted third-party survey panels. The sample collected covered the geographies, locales, and specific developer profiles requested by the client. The result This project provided the client with valuable insights into the effectiveness of machine translations across various locales, highlighting one locale that required additional localisation efforts, enabling the client to optimise resource allocation. Additionally, we analysed the key components of machine translations, offering a detailed understanding of their strengths and areas for improvement. We also conducted profiling analysis to identify developers who were more likely to face challenges with machine translations, considering factors such as their experience in software development. Why SlashData SlashData, serving as a comprehensive market research partner, guided the client from an initial high-level research brief to actionable data that addressed key business questions. Leveraging our expertise in survey design and our access to a diverse pool of developers, we efficiently gathered relevant data from a representative sample of developers using the client’s resources in their native language. Our advanced quantitative research capabilities allowed us to conduct an in-depth analysis and deliver an actionable, insights-driven report to the client.

Who is SlashData? SlashData is a Market Research and Analyst firm, based in the UK, serving the technology industry for 20+ years.

Social media platforms are increasingly critical channels for tech practitioners seeking timely and relevant insights into software development trends and practices. This report provides an in-depth analysis of how and where technology practitioners seek information and keep updated on software development trends, with particular attention to their social media engagement.
