Software is an essential part of vehicles today. Like other parts and components, it is therefore subject to high quality requirements. On the one hand, the software manufacturing process is fundamentally no different from other manufacturing processes: products are developed, tested, released, and approved based on specific requirements. However, a closer look reveals significant differences to the hardware process. For example, it is easier to parallelize production steps, changes can be implemented much faster and, what’s more, software specialists have developed their own technical terms and their own agile way of managing projects.

This basic course is for all those who have not yet worked in software projects, but who have to assess and evaluate the quality of software development processes as project managers or auditors.

• Learn the steps of software development.
• Learn the three test levels of software evaluation.
• Learn how to manage software projects.
• Learn how software is documented and released as a product or as part of a product.
• Learn how to include software development when applying VDA standards such as MLA, VDA 6.3 or ASPICE.

This basic training offers short practical exercises in addition to technical presentations that are easy to understand, even for software laymen. We will try out together how to think and plan like software developers, using simple examples to practice the systematic evaluation of software development processes.

Any person who has not yet worked in software projects, but who as a project manager or auditor has to assess and evaluate the quality of software development processes.

At the end of the training, you will receive a certificate of attendance.
