Case Study: Hamilton Medical achieves higher-confidence ventilator software testing with QA Systems’ Cantata

Hamilton Medical achieves 100% decision coverage with QA Systems

Hamilton Medical, a specialist in ventilation equipment, needed to rigorously test the software for its state-of-the-art Galileo ventilator to meet the highest standards, including IEC 62304. They faced a challenge due to their unique proprietary development environment, requiring a highly adaptable testing solution. They selected the Cantata testing tool from vendor QA Systems for its strong track record in high-integrity software.

QA Systems provided a custom solution for Hamilton Medical's proprietary platform, impressing the customer with their professional approach. Cantata was used to achieve 100% decision coverage, automate testing, and create a standardized framework for all developers. The solution was successfully ported when Hamilton Medical upgraded its environment, finding bugs in third-party libraries. The vendor's efficient technical support and training were crucial. As a result, Hamilton Medical optimized its code, confirmed great confidence in its software, has standardized on Cantata for all new C/C++ development.
