"It is difficult to achieve guaranteed compatibility

"Such work requires trained personnel and well-established testing methods, developed infrastructure and tools for automated testing," he told a ComNews correspondent.
The registry of the Ministry of Digital Development, Communications and Mass Media includes 42 different operating systems. Roman Mylitsyn noted that this causes problems for software developers, who have to spend a lot of time and resources checking, testing and, in some cases, refining the product for dozens of different operating systems.
However, according portugal whatsapp resource to Nikita Kocherzhenko, an attempt to limit competition so that two or three operating systems remain on the market will not lead to anything good. All market participants will suffer from such a decision, except for those two or three companies whose operating systems will remain.
with all application software even for two operating systems. We see no point in artificially limiting the number of operating systems in the registry. Ultimately, the market itself will determine the leaders among the operating systems, and developers will adapt products to them," a representative of the press service of the Astra Group of Companies agreed with Nikita Kocherzhenko.
"Application software manufacturers are focusing on market prospects and are reducing the list of supported operating systems," noted Roman Mylitsyn.
Different rails
"The problem of software optimization for different operating systems is acute in Russia," said Oleg Ivchenkov, CEO of Setere Group LLC. "According to various sources, the number of existing Russian desktop operating systems last year was between 30 and 40 (in the register of Russian software for class 2.09 - general-purpose operating systems - in the summer of 2023, there were 38 different products), and this year it has already exceeded 80. We don't think that there will be a vendor that provides compatibility with all of these systems, or even half of them."
In order not to scatter resources on too many projects on optimization for different OS, some vendors decided to develop products for the most common operating systems. Product manager of Innostage LLC Evgeny Surkov said that the company's products support compatibility with Astra, RedOS and AltLinux, and compatibility with others is checked at the customer's request.
A similar practice is used by PAO IVA (IVA Technologies), according to the company's technical director Viktor Petrov. Among the priority operating systems for the IVA Connect application, he named MacOS, Windows, Linux and AltLinux and noted that work on adaptation to new operating systems is being carried out because customers use them.
"Customers have not approached us with a request to optimize our products with Uncom OS software. But in the future we do not exclude the possibility of working with this OS," Viktor Petrov told ComNews.
The complexity of optimizing solutions, according to Igor Buday, head of the platform solutions department at Mont LLC, depends on the complexity of the software itself, the number of modules and libraries involved in its operation.
"It is important to understand that this process
