Overview of expert networks for software quality and system quality
The term agility is being used more and more frequently in various disciplines of software development and is already widely used in professional circles. Nevertheless, there is still room for questions, best practices and further development.
The Agility specialist group focuses on various topics in the field of agility.
The new Artificial Intelligence specialist group deals with best practices, challenges and opportunities in the use of (generative) AI in software development and testing. Questions relating to operational use in safety-critical systems, regulatory requirements and AI processes such as ModelOps and AI-related DevOps are particularly relevant.
The Automotive specialist group aims to promote the active exchange of information on software development in the automotive industry and to promote the fulfillment of functional safety requirements. In addition, topics such as the integration of Automotive SPICE into practicable processes and the implementation of agile methods in practice are becoming increasingly relevant, as is the concrete compliance with certain standard requirements in the company.
The Digital Health specialist group brings together experts from various areas of this industry, including manufacturing, services, applications, science and research. The focus of the specialist group is on topics related to the quality assurance of software in medical technology.
Mobile devices and apps have created a market worth billions in a short space of time and offer manufacturers new opportunities, but also challenges and risks. The ASQF’s Mobile Devices & Apps specialist group aims to manage this uncertainty and meet the growing demand for knowledge exchange and expansion.
The Requirements Engineering specialist group deals with various topics relating to requirements management, including the exchange of best practices and experience reports on the use of software tools, for example with artificial intelligence.
People, Projects & Processes, formerly known as the Project Management specialist group, aims to establish a network for IT project managers from various industries. The specialist group covers the various aspects of professional project management, including project structuring, risk and conflict management, communication and resource planning in complex IT projects. Process models and project quality management are also covered.
Functional safety and IT security influence each other and must be handled in accordance with current legal regulations and the state of the art. These often competing protection goals must be achieved in different industries and for different products and variants. The Safety & Security specialist group provides a platform for open discussions on topics, problems, ideas and solutions.
The Software Test specialist group is dedicated to a wide range of topics in various industries, including testing, artificial intelligence, automotive and much more. In our events, we cover aspects such as test automation, test data, agile software development, quality metrics as well as software development and software testing in regulated environments.
