Case Study: BKIN Technologies achieves closer IEC 62304 compliance and streamlined QA traceability with Zephyr

BKIN Technologies pushes closer to IEC compliance by testing its software with Zephyr

BKIN Technologies, a Canada-based developer of robotic solutions to support brain function recovery, was challenged with meeting strict medical-software standards (IEC 62304). Their legacy test-management tool, Trac, offered poor usability, limited JIRA integration, and inadequate traceability and reporting—hindering QA efficiency and the company’s ability to demonstrate compliance.

BKIN switched to Zephyr, which integrated seamlessly with JIRA and simplified test planning, execution and record-keeping. The new tool improved traceability, streamlined QA workflows, and cut record-keeping time by about 30%, bringing the company closer to IEC 62304 compliance and enabling progress toward market release.
