Case Study: BKIN Technologies achieves IEC 62304 traceability and streamlined QA with SmartBear Zephyr Squad

BKIN Technologies Pushes Closer to IEC Compliance by Testing Its Software With Zephyr Squad

Canada-based BKIN Technologies develops robotic solutions to support brain function and rehabilitation, but faced mounting challenges proving compliance with IEC 62304 for medical software. Their legacy test management tool, Trac, had a clumsy interface, poor Jira integration, manual test-case workflows and bloated reporting, which undermined traceability and made it difficult to demonstrate regulatory compliance.

BKIN switched to Zephyr Squad, which integrated smoothly with Jira and provided clearer planning, execution and record-keeping features. The new system streamlined QA workflows, improved traceability toward IEC 62304 compliance, and cut time spent on record-keeping by about 30%, helping BKIN move its products closer to market readiness.
