The world is getting smarter and smarter. The motto of the international fair “embedded world” in 2018, “it’s a smarter world,” will certainly hold true again in 2018.

In hall 4 at stand 107, microTOOL will introduce our smart software for project management, requirements engineering and application life cycle management. On February 28th at 10.30am, Mohamed Jamal Eddine will present a lecture in the exhibitor’s forum entitled “Agile testing – the weakest no longer goes to the wall,” in which he will explain how to model and manage requirements, develop them iteratively and test them agilely. microTOOL will have an exhibition stand on all three fair days where we will show how to comply with processes with in-STEP BLUE, fulfil IT compliance and secure documents, how to drive professional requirements engineering and how to plan and execute agile, traditional and hybrid projects with objectiF RPM.
