TechFika #2

Do you know what is Fika?

It is a traditional Swedish coffee break accompanied by pastries and cookies where you can hang out with friends and exchange ideas.

We want to take it to the next level, by inviting you to our second TechFika! Instead of coffee and cookies, grab a beer and some snacks, then take a longer break to listen to our great speechmakers. Later you can chat with your colleagues and expand your network.

Augmenting Reality

In 2017, there was a turning point for augmented reality (AR). Gone are the days where AR was simply a buzzworthy topic following on the heels of virtual reality. 2018 is the year that AR will stretch out into new direction, bringing a lot more people into the game. So let's see what makes AR so special and perspective for our everyday work and life.

AI predicting defect-prone code is no longer science fiction

The programmer's "Minority Report": Can software defects (not code errors!) be predicted before they are reported? Since 2012, we have been working at Volvo Group IT on applying machine learning to software development. The result is the Adept - a fully automated system that learns from historical releases of applications and then warns programmers (and testers) of areas in just-written code that may cause problems in the future. How does Adept work, how can it be used and finally, what can be gained from it, you will learn from my presentation. Be my guest!

• Jarosław Hryszko - head of research projects in the area of quality assurance in software development. Practitioner and scientist, whose research interests revolve around issues related to the quality of code and ways of their elimination. Since 2012, as a leader of research team in one of the world's leading automotive companies, he conducts research on the application of the artificial intelligence in quality assurance. Author and co-author of several books, publications and presentations regarding artificial intelligence, information security and quality assurance in computer science.
