ASQF Quality Night with AI focus

KI Deep Learning

On July 18, F+S was a guest at the 5th ASQF Quality Night "Artificial Intelligence: Perspectives" in Munich. More than 60 participants discussed the topics AI and software testing. We were particularly interested in the presentation on AI-supported requirement analysis, requirement engineering and assignment to system domains. A presentation on Functional Safety in the medical industry showed how important the structured management of data with labels, traces and reviews is in the AI context. Other talks presented potential AI-based test setups and highlighted ethical issues in AI development. It was a successful event that gave us inspiring insights into the AI context.

Christmas party 2022

Finally the time had come: After a 2-year break due to Corona, we, the F+S family, could celebrate Christmas together again. In the vaulted cellar of Villa Konthor, a well-known whisky bar in the heart of Limburg, current and future F+S employees, retirees and shareholders met for a cozy evening in a Scottish atmosphere.

By candlelight we were excellently looked after by our host Robin Pitz and his team with good food and selected drinks, especially the whisky liqueur was very popular. When the evening ended around midnight, we were very happy and grateful that such a nice tradition could be continued.

We wish our employees and customers a blessed Christmas season and a good start into the year 2023!

F+S at Gate4SPICE Event "Rhetorik in ASPICE Assessments"

The "Rhetoric in ASPICE Assessments" is a topic that should not be underestimated, it can significantly influence the duration and success of assessments. Therefore, we followed the invitation of Achim Hönow and Bhaskar Vanamali to the Köschingen location of CARIAD SE on 22.09.2022 to work on and discuss this topic. Together with about 25 Provisional, Competent and Principal Assessors we worked out how assessors can express ASPICE requirements rhetorically well, so that assessors, even without ASPICE knowledge, can fully understand questions and technical issues. In addition to technical and methodological knowledge, the soft skills of our assessors are particularly in demand. During the breaks there was also enough time for professional exchange and networking. The event was generally well received and has enriched our wealth of experience.
