Testing Procedure Explanation

1. Analysis and planning

Medical device software analysis focuses on both functional and non-functional aspects, shaping the subsequent verification and validation testing plan. Testing documentation requirements vary based on the type and safety classification of the software, with more intricate details required for higher risk devices.

Sfinitor's seasoned Quality Assurance (QA) managers collaborate with in-house healthcare consultants to develop verification and validation testing strategies. They select suitable testing tools and form a project team composed of QA engineers, developers for unit testing and static code analysis, security testers, and a compliance consultant. This cohesive unit ensures thorough testing for healthcare software solutions.

2. Testing - Verifying & Validating Quality

Verification and validation testing are performed by our team to uphold the security, compliance with regulations, and intended functionality of your software. The extent of software validation and verification testing is contingent upon the software's safety class.

Identify frequent actions in Verification & Validation (V&V) testing.

  • Ensures clear, consistent, and traceable software functional and non-functional specifications for review
  • Ensuring clarity, security, and adherence to software architecture and design standards by scrutinizing the layout and construction of software systems
