Safae Laqrichi is a PhD and Research Engineer at Estimancy.
Her research work aims to automate the COSMIC measurement based on Artificial Intelligence applied on software specification in natural language. She trains and assists customers on the COSMIC method in order to spread its use and gather a useful knowledge base. She also hosts webinars that promote the COSMIC method.
Since 2017, she has participated in the review and the translation of some COSMIC materials with Bernard Londeix et Jean Marc Desharnais.
