Digg This!

It looks like Kim Polese’s SpikeSource operation has gotten a new lease on life. At least it’s gotten another $10 million, this infusion coming from Intel, which is evidently trying to protect its initial investment back in 2005.

Anyway the open source software verification company is now going to do software testing and validation for Intel’s Software Partner Program as what Intel calls its Certified Solutions program.

Initially it’s an early adopter program that should broaden out later this year.

Testing will be against a specific set of criteria that include security, performance, interoperability, maintainability and optimization for Intel.

Intel, by the way, also has a new C++ Software Development Tool Suite for Linux Supporting MIDs.
