Full Spectrum Software, a leading software developer for medical device makers, announced the release of their third in a series of free Software Technical Reports, “QA Automation and Software Testing in an FDA Controlled Software Project” Software quality assurance is a very high priority for all medical device software projects which are FDA controlled. Software quality automation tools can be used effectively in an FDA controlled software project. However, they must be used differently in an FDA controlled software project. The Software Technical Report shows software quality assurance managers working on FDA controlled software projects how to evaluate the true cost and benefits of software test automation, how to evaluate QA automation software testing tools for maximum effectiveness, how to calculate the true cost of QA automations software testing solutions and how to combine manual software testing with automated software testing to meet FDA guidelines.

The Software Technical Report is designed to help QA project managers avoid some very common mistakes in selecting the correct tools and what can be done to get the most value from QA Software automation tools. The report can be downloaded here

The Software technical Report is based on Full Spectrum Software’s experience in working on a wide variety of FDA controlled software projects and the company’s experience in using automated software quality assurance tools in our own software test labs. Full Spectrum Software’s Quality Systems follow FDA guidelines and the company has successfully implemented a variety of methods for using automated software quality assurance tools in combination with manual testing of software in an FDA controlled software projects.
