Case Study: NVIDIA accelerates code and document reviews with SmartBear Collaborator

NVIDIA streamlines reviews and boosts ISO compliance with SmartBear, cutting reviews by 2–3 days

NVIDIA, a technology company, needed to meet stringent automotive safety standards (ISO 26262) for its autonomous vehicle chip designs. This required a robust, auditable process for code and document reviews that could handle extreme complexity, maintain perfect records for decades, and scale across thousands of users. They turned to SmartBear and its tool, Collaborator, to address this challenge.

SmartBear implemented Collaborator and provided exceptional partnership-level support, rapidly adding features—sometimes within a week—to meet NVIDIA's specific compliance needs. This solution streamlined NVIDIA's review processes, significantly improved time-to-market and review quality, and provided a complete, tamper-proof audit trail. As a result, over five years NVIDIA streamlined its processes, executed over 150,000 reviews with less rework, and confidently satisfied external ISO auditors with minimal questions.
