The Seminar

In this seminar, we will explore the current challenges in testing cyber-physical systems. Cyber-physical systems include, e.g., automated and autonomous driving vehicles, drones, and robots. As these systems are intended to operate in an extremely diverse environment, testing their safe behavior in all relevant situations is challenging. Due to the diversity of test cases, verification and validation of cyber-physical systems only in real-world testing is considered infeasible. To complement these efforts, (virtual) scenario-based testing is currently the most promising approach in industry and academia.

Each student will be matched with a supervisor at the chair and will work on their unique topic throughout the semester. Each topic includes extensive literature research, which will prepare you perfectly for a subsequent bachelor’s or master’s thesis in software engineering. We will teach you how to find good literature, how to write a good seminar thesis, and how to give effective presentations.
