Case Study: Bovie Medical halves V&V costs and brings validation in-house with Parasoft Embedded solutions

Bovie Medical Cuts Costs and Time by Automating Testing with Parasoft Embedded

Bovie Medical, a maker of electrosurgical devices, developed a new generator with an LCD software interface and faced strict FDA requirements for verification and validation (V&V) testing. Previously they outsourced testing—paying about $300,000—and found vendors lacked product knowledge, required heavy support and access to proprietary code, and missed hard-to-find defects.

Bovie chose Parasoft Embedded to bring automated static and dynamic testing in-house for both C++ and C#, including custom support to run unit tests on the embedded target. Parasoft’s tools uncovered subtle logic and memory issues, created audit-ready documentation, cut validation costs roughly 50%, and accelerated time-to-market by about six months while simplifying support and compliance.
