Topic: Hardware and Wetware in the loop. Agile Software Development in Regulated Industries This session explores how agile practices are being implemented across various verticals in which software is intimately coupled to (silicon-based) hardware and (carbon-based) wetware. Taking a tour from electric vehicles and surgical robots to automated laboratories and food chemometrics, it is evident that traditional agile methodologies clash with the regulatory requirements of life-critical quality assurance whilst left-shifting means intertwining research and development (R&D) and verification and validation (V&V) activities even when the actual hardware or wetware is unavailable. So how do you get real-world feedback from hardware (e.g. car components) or wetware (e.g. patient anatomy) into the complete software testing loop? What to Expect: * A concise, 5-10 minute expert presentation introducing us to the nuances of the topic. * Engage in insightful discussions with fellow participants in breakout groups, exploring diverse experiences and practices. * Dive into prepared questions designed to challenge and expand your perspective on the topic. * A fantastic opportunity to network with like-minded professionals and enthusiasts passionate about software development and team building. * Broadening Our Discussions: We explore a wide range of topics, including Extreme Programming (XP), agile management methods, lean theory, career management, programming katas, and other areas related to software development. Whether you're new to software, a seasoned practitioner, or an expert, your insights and experiences are valued here! * Event Details: We'll gather from 7:00 PM, officially start the session at 7:15 PM, and take a break at 8:30 PM to decide the topic for our next session. Don't miss this chance to learn, share, and connect!
