Softacus provides  a training program on the Automotive Compliance Process from IBM which is released with the IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management Solution. 

Type:                Instructor-led Classroom

Duration:         24 hours

Location:         Remote or Onsite (World-Wide)

Language:       English

What is Automotive Compliance (AC) Process

The AC Process is a well documented process definition which includes the following:

• Process Roles 
• Process Activities and Tasks 
• Process Work Products 
• Tool Guidance (enacting the process with IBM ELM toolchain) 
• Templates for IBM ELM tools supporting the AC Process (templates are provided for IBM DOORS Next Generation ® (DNG), IBM Engineering Test Management ® (ETM), IBM Engineering Workflow Management ® (EWM) and IBM Architecture Management ®(AM)) 
• ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434 standards and ASPICE Capability Model topics 
• Mapping between process elements and ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434 and ASPICE standards to ensure compliance.   
• The AC Process is designed based on SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework), to support an agile systems and software engineering approach.  

The AC process is developed and documented in order to provide a process framework to the followers of this process, which will definitely help to comply with the target standards (ie, ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434 and ASPICE). 

The Automotive Compliance Process provides a process framework for system development that takes into account the certification needs for:

• ASPICE Base and Generic Practices 
• ISO 26262 Functional Safety requirements 
• ISO/SAE 21434 Cybersecurity requirements 

The AC process definition has a mapping between process activities / work products and these standard requirements. This means, when a work product is generated in compliance with the AC Process or a task / activity is conducted again from the AC Process, you know which standard requirement is being covered and satisfied.

That will enable an effective gap analysis between project work and standard requirements. 

IBM ELM Automotive Compliance Process Training Topics 

We provide a custom training program developed for our customers’ needs. Our target outcome of this training program is, in addition to understanding the basic usage of the IBM Engineering Management Solution tools (namely, DNG, ETM, EWM and AM), also explore how these tools and solutions can be / should be used in the context of the Automotive Compliance Process. 

During the training we run an instance of the process flow on a sample system development example from the Automotive industry. 

We try to provide answers to the following selective questions during the training: 

• How do we elicit stakeholder requirements?
• How do we analyze / review system requirements?  
• How to identify main capabilities of the system and plan requirements for different releases / variants? 
• How to link requirements with test cases in different levels of the V-lifecycle?
• How to develop test cases and manage manual test runs
• How to plan development activities iteratively, using agile methodology? 
• How to incorporate system architectural design (with requirements) 
• How to prepare a traceability matrix between requirements, work items, plans, architecture (logical / physical) and tests. 
• How to manage versions and variants 

All these questions are approached in the context of the Automotive Compliance Process.

Benefits of the Automotive Compliance Process Training 

Upon completion the IBM Automotive Compliance Process, you will have practical knowledge on:

• how to apply the process tasks on the IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management tools
• how to merge tool usage with process flow.

Contact us to get a customized offer for your team. Upon discussion, we will learn your processes and incorporate key elements and terms used by your team into the training program.

Auch dieses Jahr wird Softacus bei der REConf, die vom 24 bis 28. April 2023 stattfindet, sein.

Die REConf (Requirements Engineering Conference) ist Europas führende Konferenz mit Schwerpunkt Requirements Engineering. Auf der Veranstaltung werden neue Methoden, Trends und Tools in Vorträgen, Diskussionsrunden und Workshops diskutiert.

Am zweiten Tag der Konferenz (25 April) um 16:00 Uhr wird unser Solution Director, Jan Jancar, zusammen mit Peter Schedl von IBM, einen Vortrag zum Thema "Traceability - das Salz in der Suppe" halten. 

Anforderungen sind der Ausgangspunkt der Entwicklung und somit auch der Traceability für alle Entwicklungsdaten. Projekte stellen heute bereits sicher, dass alle Kundenanforderungen in Systemanforderungen überführt wurden und Testfälle spezifiziert sind. Nicht selbstverständlich ist die Traceability in Verbindung mit KPI’s oder der toolgestützten Impactanalyse bei sich ändernden Anforderungen. 

Softacus zeigt gemeinsam mit IBM Best Practices wie sich solche Szenarien mit DOORS und der Engineering Lifecycle Management Lösung einfach abbilden lassen.

Softacus has been selected as one of the Top 10 IBM Solution providers for 2022 by the CIOApplications Europe - a popular European magazine on innovations and technology.

In this article, featured in the magazine in December 2022, our Solution Director, Jan Jancar, talks about the challenges engineering teams are facing nowadays and how Softacus and the IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management solution help organizations improve collaboration among software and system developers, increasing efficiency and product quality.

The Spring 2022 Engineering Lifecycle Management User Group Conference will be virtual from May 16 – 19. Each day’s agenda will run three hours, packed with interesting and valuable information, but also respectful of your busy schedules. This conference will focus on the increasing complexity challenging today’s systems and software development teams.

The forum will promote best practices, collaboration, model-based design, digital thread, and optimal reuse. You will hear from IBM experts, long standing IBM Partners, as well as technical professionals like yourselves. The conference promises to be informative, as well as a great opportunity to exchange views and network with your peers.

IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) is the leading platform for today’s complex product and software development. ELM extends the functionality of standard ALM tools, providing an integrated, end-to-end solution that offers full transparency and traceability across all engineering data. From requirements through testing and deployment, ELM optimizes collaboration and communication across all stakeholders, improving decision-making, productivity and overall product quality.

Register here for the conference.

Agenda:

• Drive engineering excellence for sustainable public infrastructure
• Streamline engineering complexity in regulated industries
• Remove data silos across the engineering lifecycle using digital threads
