Case Study: Epic Sciences boosts testing efficiency and traceability with Cognition Corporation's Cockpit Enterprise

Epic Sciences Structures Requirements, Risk, and Test Management Data with Cockpit® Enterprise

Epic Sciences, Inc., a developer of novel diagnostics for prostate and breast cancer, needed a better way to manage requirements, risk, and test data as it prepared products under ISO 13485:2016 expectations. Its teams were manually exporting requirements from one system into spreadsheets and then into a test management platform, which created disconnects, errors, and time-consuming verification work. Cognition Corporation’s Cockpit Enterprise was used to help address these issues.

Cognition Corporation implemented Cockpit Enterprise to structure Epic Sciences’ requirements, risk, and test data in one repository with automated traceability and embedded workflow processes. The result was faster, more accurate testing operations, with test activity shifting from 65% planning, 25% documentation, and 10% execution to 35% planning, 15% documentation, and 50% execution. Epic Sciences also reduced report creation time from days to minutes and gained comprehensive traceability that improved efficiency, documentation quality, and audit readiness.
