In our last workshop we have discussed software test design including all of the factors that are important for software tests.
Those covered from the question of what to test up to best practices on how to keep the test suite alive, relevant and easy to extend.
We discussed the following topics, among others:
Solenix is delighted to announce that its contract for software prototyping and mobile app development with ESA/ESRIN has been extended for two years and will now run until September 2019. In this contract, Solenix leads an international consortium with Terrasigna Srl (RO), GISAT s.r.o. (CZ), Progressive Systems Srl (IT) and Qualteh JR Srl (RO) as subcontractors.
Solenix, as part of a GMV INSYEN led consortium, has been awarded by ESA a contract to evaluate the feasibility of using Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN) for space-to-ground communications.
With the purpose of delivering a simpler experience and a more complete service to their customers, Solenix GmbH and Leaf Space Srl are announcing a partnership that will result in the seamless integration between Solenix’s mission control system and Leaf Space’s ground segment services.
Solenix has recently been awarded with an ESA Kick-Start Activity. This is a funding scheme launched by the Integrated Applications Promotion at ESA, which supports the development of innovative ideas that make use of space capabilities and data.
Solenix submitted a proposal under the topic "Outdoor Tourism". The goal of this project is to conduct a feasibility study to explore if the proposed business idea has market potential.
On 20 and 21 June 2017, the sixth edition of the European Ground System Architecture Workshop (ESAW) took place at ESOC in Darmstadt, Germany.
Our colleagues Martin Tykal and Yann Voumard attended the event, which brings together international companies and organisations around the topic of ground systems architecture for space missions. This year the focus was given to collaboration and common solutions.
A major update of the ESA Sentinel App, a product of the Solenix-led Consortium for mobile App development and fast software prototyping at ESRIN, has been released.
Knowledge is the annual conference organized by ServiceNow and its partners. This year Knowledge17 took place in Orlando (USA) in May. With more than 15.000 attendees, the conference provides insights into the evolution of this product and the opportunity to share the experience with experts and users from all over the world in a wide range of industries and applications.
ServiceNow provides a platform that automates business processes and has emerged in the last years as a very strong proposition in IT Service Management.
This month’s workshop introduced the core concepts of Git, a distributed version control system. Since its inception in 2005, Git has been used in the Linux Kernel to manage its large codebase. Today, Git is in use in an ever growing number of projects, as well as in support infrastructure, being one of the most popular VCS systems.
The workshop focussed on how to approach the way Git represents code changes and its recommended workflows. We also covered the main differences of Git with respect to Mercurial. More in detail, this is what we discussed:
We are happy to announce that Solenix has become a vendor in the CubeSatShop!
This online shop provides a platform for hardware and software vendors to offer their specialised products for CubeSats and NanoSats.
Thanks to this opportunity, we have now better visibility amongst the CubeSat community and we are able to address them directly from this renowned marketplace.
Two of our products are already available at the CubeSatShop:
