Case Study: Abiomed achieves faster, higher-quality medical device code reviews with Perforce Helix QAC

How Abiomed Accelerated Medical Device Code Reviews With Helix QAC

Abiomed, a global leader in medical device technologies that support or replace the human heart, needed a safer and more efficient way to review C and C++ code. Its manual code review process, along with basic tools like Lint, was resource-intensive and still left room for human error in a high-stakes development environment. Abiomed turned to Perforce’s Helix QAC to strengthen its software quality process.

Perforce’s Helix QAC automated code reviews and provided deeper static analysis, helping Abiomed detect errors earlier and enforce coding standards daily or even hourly. The result was faster development, fewer compiling/testing/prototyping cycles, lower software testing costs, and more reliable products with greater confidence in the codebase.
