One of the most common questions about SysML v2 is whether it is a textual language or a diagram language. The answer is both – and that is not a compromise but an architectural choice. Understanding the three aspects of

Why “almost right” is more expensive in production than obviously wrong A red build doesn’t get shipped. An answer that sounds convincing but is factually wrong does. That difference captures the fundamental distinction

The new certificate from the Hamburg Environmental Partnership (UmweltPartnerschaft Hamburg) has arrived, along with a sticker for our front door. The following voluntary measures were officially recognised: Purchasing

Simulation is one of the strongest arguments for MBSE: instead of hoping a model describes the behaviour you intended, you can execute it and watch. With CATIA Magic 2026 Refresh 1 there is now a simulation plugin for

AI in software testing has long been more than just a bit of ChatGPT for formulating test cases. We use it to generate test cases, analyze test results, and classify defects. Sometimes it works well; other times, not so
How to Keep Your Delivery Capacity High During the Summer—Without Burning Out Your Team In theory, July is the time of year when everything slows down. In reality, things look very different for many tech teams. Vacation
AI is bringing radical change to how we develop systems. Models that used to take days now emerge from a single prompt. So the question is worth asking: will my MBSE skillset still be valuable in five years? A look at
In SysML v2, a view is not a diagram you draw and maintain by hand. It is a query on the model. You write a filter, point it at a part of the model, and the tool renders the diagram. When the model changes, you
why it pays off for tech teams (and the sea helps) "At best, only the person who was trained benefits from training — at worst, nobody does." "Soft skills are nice, but hard skills move the project
On 28 June 2025, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) — implemented in Germany as the Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSG) — came fully into force. Since then, many digital products and services must be designed to be
A popular misconception is that software testing is primarily about finding defects. This view is not really tenable, regardless of which testing school you identify with. The BBST® Syllabus states in essence that
2026 is a turning point for systems engineering professionals worldwide: the OMG SysML v2 certification is officially available — the first formal credential for expertise in the most significant redesign of model-based
The SysML v2 REST API is the official way to access SysML v2 models programmatically. It is standardised, well-specified, and responds to every request with raw JSON that at first feels like looking at Matrix code.
Architecture-Driven Testing: The Underrated Lever for Robust Software Why testing needs to be rethought Software isn't getting simpler. It's becoming more distributed, more dynamic, more
The European AI Act 10 Things Software Teams Need to Know Now Artificial intelligence has long become everyday reality. It is embedded in search engines, recommendation systems, recruiting tools, diagnostic software, and
Exploratory testing is no longer the wild clicking around that people used to imagine. We are hopefully all past that point. At the latest since courses like BBST® and books by Elisabeth Hendrickson, Lisa Crispin and
You have probably asked yourself this question more than once. So have we. Really satisfying answers are unfortunately rare. Sure, I have test design techniques that suggest I have tested everything important — but it is
Since its publication in 2007, the Systems Modeling Language (SysML) 1.x has become the lingua franca of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) across many industries and domains. Soon, after roughly 18 years, a
