Case Study: Noser Engineering boosts developer productivity and automates open source management with Black Duck

Noser: Improving Productivity With Black Duck and Jenkins

Noser Engineering AG, a Swiss software and IT engineering firm working on IoT, smart factory and mobile solutions (including a car‑connectivity app), relied heavily on open source. Their previous process—developers logging components and licenses on Confluence for manual review and approval—was cumbersome, time-consuming, and hard to scale.

They implemented Synopsys Black Duck integrated with Jenkins to automate discovery of open‑source components, extract dependency data from builds, map known vulnerabilities and licenses via the Black Duck KnowledgeBase, and produce shareable reports. The automation eliminated manual tracking, increased developer productivity, enabled policy-driven oversight, and delivered clearer security and maintenance insights across projects.
