Dear Software Center members, You are invited to a cross-company workshop on AI output evaluation. We are all busy thinking about or already applying AI assistants and agentic AI workflows to improve and automate every applicable process in our companies. But how do we know if it’s good enough? Which AI model works best? How to compare them, how to choose? How to monitor and control the quality over time?

In this session, we’ll take an engaging journey through real-world lessons learned while bridging the gap between AI-powered testing prototypes and robust, production-ready solutions. I'll discuss the practical challenges that arise when moving from proof of concept (PoC) to full productification, including the hurdles faced and some failed PoCs that provided invaluable insights. We’ll dive into topics such as strategic test case selection, tackling the notorious challenge of flaky tests,
This spring, we are excited with a series of online events where companies present their experiences of AI. On April the 3rd, we have Azeem Ahmad from Ericsson Linköping, who will present their experiences with AI.
We are pleased to invite you to an open workshop presenting our ongoing research project, conducted in collaboration with WASP, on quality assurance for machine-learning (ML) programs and notebooks. Machine-learning software differs fundamentally from traditional software in development practices, organizational roles, and strong dependency on training data. However, software quality assurance (QA) aiming to ensure robustness, maintainability, and functional correctness is much less established than those for engineering traditional software.
Compliance with Standards — An Agentic Approach This presentation argues that ensuring product compliance with large standards organizations becomes unmanageable when handled manually, due to the sheer scale of standards and their heterogeneous formats, while simultaneously demanding rigorous traceability, coverage, and compliance. To address this challenge, we introduce an AI-assisted, agentic workflow that treats standards as a searchable corpus and applies a structured pipeline to support requirements engineering at scale.
At the previous workshop on superset platforms (organised on April 1st), we agreed to run a 3rd workshop as everyone was interested in going more in-depth and discuss the topic further. This invite is a placeholder for this upcoming workshop so that you have the date in your calendars. We will update this invite with details on the agenda and the specific topics for discussion. Please note that date and time

Software Center AI Show-and-tell: Speaker Hannes Salin, Trafikverket
Background: As software systems grow in size and complexity, traditional Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment/Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines face significant efficiency bottlenecks. Although researchers have begun using Large Language Models (LLMs) to optimize pipeline tasks, these intelligent agents are rarely integrated directly into pipeline control flows or gating decisions. This disconnection stems from a focus on agent design at the expense of understanding internal pipeline dynamics and structural constraints, limiting practical
