Course Descriptions

The Systems Engineering foundations course provides a solid background of the core Systems Engineering discipline. Including learning and practicing the application of Systems Engineering methodologies, enhancing know-how with an interactive workshop and covering detailed use cases.

The course attendance is strictly limited to a ratio of no greater than 6:1 Participants: Presenters, thus enhancing the effectiveness of the training. Given that Systems Engineering needs to be tailored to each Participant's unique needs, increasing the Presenter's availability per Participant, is a key quality measure of this training course.

In addition, an evening meal with the course presenters is included in the course fees.

Learning Outcomes

• To know the origins of Systems Engineering and the application of the role.

• To speak competently about the discipline of Systems Engineering.

• To know how to apply Systems Engineering methodologies to complex project developments.

The solution contains predefined Modules:

• Generic Test plan/Test specification and Template for the Test report according to EN50128
• Generic Validation plan and Template for Validation Report according to EN50129
• Generic Safety plan and Template for Proof of Safety according to EN50129

Compliance with EN 50128

The software safety standard EN 50128 originates from the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation or CENELEC. Its full title is ‘Railway applications. Communications, signaling, and processing systems. Software for railway control and protection systems. The internationally published version of the CENELEC EN 50128 standard is IEC 62279. The content of both publications is identical.

The standard requires that all systems with safety implications and which contain software should be assigned a Software Integrity Level (SIL), ranging from a value of 0 to 4. The standard then details in a number of ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ ways, the software development activities appropriate to each SIL that should be carried out, and evidence for the completion of which should be generated.

IBM DOORS (Classic) was and is a leading requirement management tool for most industries with complex systems. Nowadays, however, customers require many more things from a requirement tool that could not be addressed by DOORS which is using robust and reliable but 25-year-old architecture. Therefore, ten years ago IBM decided to develop DOORS Next Generation which is running on a modern Jazz Platform and together with Rational Team Concert and Rational Quality Manager can satisfy very demanding customer needs as well.
For customers interested in taking advantage of the IBM Jazz Platform, Softacus provides services to migrate from IBM DOORS to IBM DOORS Next Generation.

This Service intends to help DOORS NG Users to get unstructured or not optimally formatted data into DOORS Next structured data quickly.
