Most welcome to a workshop on ’Data pricing’ which we run as part of the PdM community workshop series. Location: Hybrid event (On-site at Lindholmen and online using Microsoft Teams) Background: Often, data is described as the “new oil” and very recently it was described as an “anti-commodity” in a presentation highlighting the potential of data to reshape and redefine business models and revenue streams. For companies, there are a number
Title: Multi-factor Approach for Flaky Test Detection and Automated Root Cause Analysis Speaker: Azeem Ahmad, Linköping University Abstract: Re-running test cases is the most popular and adopted approach to detect flaky test in large scale industries. Re-running is costly because it consumes a lot of computing power. Google uses 2-16% of its testing budget just to re-run flaky tests. Re-running is unreliable because it is hard to determine the number
Welcome to a lunch seminar arranged by the Continuous Architecture theme: "Sorry, there is no digital transformation without software sustainability” Speakers: Patricia Lago and Birgit Penzenstadler This talk presents a brief overview of the results of the first sprint of the Sustainability Analysis project and gives insights into the ongoing sprint from our partnership with Jeppesen-Boeing which focuses on Design Decision Maps and Sustainability Goals as a basis for a

Abstract Company-wise measurement programs are socio-technological systems, which combine social aspects of what, when and where to measure with technical aspects of how to measure. These programs are usually difficult to establish as utilizing the measurement information in decision-making is more difficult than it seems. Speaker Ola Söder, Expert Engineer from Axis Communications - presents the experiences from establishing a modern measurement program in close collaboration with Ericsson and Software

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly popular within companies across domains due to the success of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) technologies. For companies across domains, the end-to-end process of developing, deploying and successfully adopting ML/DL models in operation introduces several challenges related to the design, the evolution and the scaling of these models. For example, access and availability of data is often challenging and activities such as
Welcome to the last brown-bag seminar of 2020! Title: Exploring the cognitive processes used by testers Abstract: In theme one Eduard Paul Enoiu from Mälardalen University has been working towards a cognitive model of software testing based on how problem solving is conceptualized in cognitive psychology. This approach instantiates a general problem solving process for the specific problem of creating test cases in automated testing. A preliminary study led to
Title: "For a few dollars more... we forgot our process" Speaker: Antonio Martini Description: Process improvement might be down-prioritized exactly like software quality. Besides the well-known Technical Debt, we should also pay attention to possibly dangerous Process Debt. In this talk I'll introduce the concept and share a few interesting findings for the first investigation with the software center companies. Link to the recorded presentation >>
The mobile networks are playing a central role in our society by serving close to 8 billion subscriptions worldwide. These networks are parts of national critical infrastructure in many countries. Security is an important aspect for these networks where a minor interruption may result in major impacts on individuals, governments, and organizations. Security standards are one of the existing approaches to protect mobile networks and their users through commonly agreed,
Most welcome to the sprint 20 kick-off workshop for project 5 (‘Accelerating Digitalization Through Data’) and project 9 (‘Strategic Ecosystem Driven R&D Management’). In both projects, we have had very rewarding collaborations and a number of different research activities related to digital transformation and the implications of this. As two primary topics of interest, we explored digital business models and data monetization. In addition, we complemented our work on value
Link to the meeting in MS Teams Most welcome to the first sprint 20 PdM community workshop that we organize January 28th, 13:00 – 15:00. The topic of this workshop is ‘Business Agility 2.0’.

Presenter: Hongyi Zhang, PhD student, Chalmers Federated Learning is an improved Machine Learning approach which enables edge devices to collaboratively learn a shared machine learning model. The data exchanged between the edge and central server are no longer user data but the updated model weights. Furthermore, as this model training method is distributed, there are chances to make the model become smarter and adapt to their environment. (For example, devices
As test suites grow larger and more complex, the time and resources required to execute the test suite also grows accordingly. This is particularly true for companies developing diverse product lines, who must execute portions of the test suite on compatible hardware units with the features required by those test cases. We have recently begun to explore the topic of how to efficiently parallelize the execution of test cases across
Title: “There, but what about Back Again? – Propagating manual modifications from generated code to the design model” Speaker: Robbert Jongeling, MDH Abstract: In one of its forms, model-based development brings the benefit of complete code generation from design models. The generated code may be subject to manual changes for several reasons, such as fixing errors after code-level testing, or adjusting the code for different variants of targeted hardware. As
