Standards: The framework for a secure development process

The Business Unit Quality Engineering has been working for many years on the development of standards for the telecommunications industry, model-driven software development and model-based testing. Fraunhofer FOKUS is also a member of the standardization committees of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and the Object Management Group (OMG).
In these committees, the Business Unit Quality Engineering has advanced the development of the TTCN-3 test definition language and UML Testing Profile (UTP) in particular, and it has successfully used both technologies in numerous industrial projects. The Business Unit Quality Engineering also contributes to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) and the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA). Additionally, the standardization work of the Business Unit Quality Engineering influences the standards for automotive software and control devices that are defined in the Automotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR) development partnership. A detailed list of all standards to which Fraunhofer FOKUS has contributed can be found in the downloads section.
