Case Study: Hamilton Medical achieves 100% decision coverage and safer ventilator software with QA Systems Cantata

Hamilton Medical - Customer Case Study

Hamilton Medical, a designer and developer of ventilation equipment, faced the challenge of testing the high-integrity software for its Galileo ventilator to the highest standards, including compliance with IEC 62304. They needed a robust testing solution that could adapt to their unique proprietary development platform. QA Systems provided its Cantata testing tool to meet this challenge.

QA Systems implemented Cantata to perform embedded unit and integration testing, creating a standardized framework for all developers. The solution provided crucial technical support and was later adapted for Hamilton Medical's new VxWorks environment. Using Cantata's coverage analysis, Hamilton Medical achieved 100% decision coverage on all code, which led to optimized software, the elimination of unnecessary code, and the discovery of bugs in third-party libraries. This gave the company great confidence in its software's reliability.
