Software Qualification

Our team has many years of experience and a global reputation in the qualification and certification of software.

The qualification of safety-related software consists of a concept assessment, a theoretical and practical software test and if necessary an integration/system test. These tests are performed either parallel to or after the development of the software.

We focus on the following areas:

• Test and certification of safety-related software according to international standards, for example IEC 61508
• Qualification of software for nuclear engineering
• "Fit-for-Purpose" identification (verification) of software tools
• Analysis and qualification of safety related bus protocols/systems
• Statical software analysis
• Design and implementation of software tests
• Test of programming guidelines
• Development of validation suites for compilers and automatic/graphic programme generators
• Authoring of expertises.

Within the scope of software qualification we have practical knowledge and many years of operational experience in the following business fields:

• Process Automation
• Power Engineering
• Oil and Gas Production
• Firing Plants
• Building Technology
• Automotive Industry
• Medical Services
