Modeling and Testing for System and Service Solutions

The competence centre MOTION generates processes, methods and tools that provide continuous development and quality control of software based systems and services ranging from drafts to tests and operation as well as certification and approval.

Using its integrated system and testing development MOTION is able to constructively compile system quality, continuously verify and ultimately improve it. For its integrated, tool based development, simulation and testing the competence centre is using methodologies connected to infrastructures as well as to shared and adaptive system architectures.

Based on standardised methods and technologies MOTION develops solutions for the Future Internet, eHealth, Automotive, eGovernment and Smart Cities, supporting an effective and increasingly automated system engineering. MOTION is developing these domain, technology and process specific solutions for the support of an effective and increasingly automated system engineering based on MOF, UML, SysML, UTP, TTCN-3, MDA and Eclipse.

Learn more about MOTION’s current projects, topics, technologies as well as testing and development environments. For individual consulting and training services as well as requests for collaboration, please contact Prof. Dr. Ina Schieferdecker
