Industry 4.0 and Digital Twins promise many benefits, such as an efficient lot size 1 or various optimizations. However, successfully implementing these concepts requires a sophisticated IT infrastructure. What are the requirements on this infrastructure and how can it be…
Controller Area Network bus or CAN bus analysis is crucial for detecting the loss of important messages. In vehicle systems and many sophisticated embedded applications, preventing failures in the early development phase is an important demand of the market nowadays….
This is the final article in a series of five blog posts on requirements documentation. Where documenting requirements is considered a de facto standard in classical projects, Agile contexts tend to avoid it, as it is seen purely as unreasonable…
The documentation of requirements is an important means within requirements engineering. In projects with few requirements changes over their runtime, good documentation can be achieved with relative ease. For agile projects, however, it is in their nature that their requirements…
Documenting requirements is one of the key activities performed in requirements engineering. Even though projects using traditional development approaches naturally perform documentation, many practitioners in agile development projects avoid practicing the documentation of requirements because it is considered too much…
Documenting requirements is a key activity in requirements engineering. However, despite the ubiquitous role of requirements documents, in agile settings the term “documentation” has a rather negative connotation. Poor documentation practice is often the result of an aversion to documenting,…
In requirements engineering (RE), the documentation of requirements and related artifacts plays a central role. However, practitioners often experience challenges in this particular RE activity. This blog post is the first in a five-part series of articles on requirements documentation….
A groundbreaking keynote on Crowd-based Requirements Engineering (CrowdRE) was recently held by the renowned Prof. Dr. Martin Glinz, and we are excited to be able to share a video recording of his 39-minute talk with you. Fraunhofer IESE introduced CrowdRE…
Autonomy, automation, autarky, networking… many terms are used in the context of “autonomous systems”. For example, we already speak about autonomous driving if the vehicle takes over certain driving tasks on its own and without human intervention. Strictly speaking, however,…
Agile Transition – Let’s have end-to-end agility! What exactly does this mean, and what does Agile mean in the context of software and systems engineering? Fraunhofer IESE has many years of experience with »Agile« in the area of software engineering,…
