Testing in complex software and hardware environments presents unique challenges in product development, and it is vital that your QA team be being able to meet these challenges and ensure quality. Agile development methodologies were implemented for quick creation and delivery of software, but they introduce new challenges when deliverables keep changing, timetables are shortened, and development complexity rapidly increases.

This audio conference presentation examines the testing methods typically used with complex medical devices. The speaker draws on first-hand experience and provides examples of test plans, test cases, and test lists, and discusses how to use documentation to create, track, and report testing results.

This audio conference covers:

• How development approach affects testing approach
• Methods used to test complex software applications
• Test methods and approaches to address challenges associated with medical technology
• Pre-testing analysis of what is being delivered and the impact to the final product
• Using risk-based analysis to ensure testing of high-risk components
