Our Services

More and more often, innovations are based on software. But if the world relies on software, how do you assure its quality? It is therefore important to approach software and systems engineering in an integrated and interdisciplinary manner.

Fraunhofer IESE supports you holistically in software and systems engineering as well as innovation engineering. This covers the entire spectrum from strategic decisions in management to technical issues in the areas of architecture, implementation, or testing. Depending on your needs and wishes, we will accompany you from the first steps over the entire lifecycle of a project – or only for selected issues.

The engineering of innovative software-based systems is our expertise and our passion, and we support you in a wide range of challenges. We know that many of your problems have to be considered systematically and holistically. This characterizes our approach: We always start from your individual situation and work with you to find effective solutions. As an independent institution, our evaluations are neutral and objective.

We are very familiar with all the necessary engineering disciplines and their interaction.

A particular focus of our expertise is on the following engineering disciplines:

Today, software controls complex processes and is highly interconnected. However, the quality of software is difficult to grasp. At the same time, software whose quality is insufficient is very problematic. The more critical the usage purpose of software becomes, the higher the requirements on quality and on how it can be proven. Ultimately, quality is a mix of numerous differently weighted quality attributes and their concrete attainment.

This is why quality in software and systems engineering and in innovation engineering is a goal with many facets that must be given engineering-style consideration in all engineering disciplines. Dependable quality statements require state-of-the-art methods and a systematic approach.

We have extensive experience in taking a holistic view of quality and will help you, too, achieve the right quality.

A particular focus of our expertise is on the following quality properties:

Software-based systems and innovations through software are relevant for all industries. We support you, no matter which industry your company belongs to! Benefit from our experience in numerous industries!
