Introducing a software development process for device drivers for medical analyzer

Targeted workshops determine both the actual status of driver development and the requirements for the new software development process. PTA uses this information to refine the customer's standard development process. The individual process steps and responsibilities, associated tasks and documentation of those tasks are specified and a project manual is compiled together with all the necessary document templates. The development process is transferred to existing ALM tools that are adapted accordingly to the process steps. PTA defines a versioning and release strategy and a representative branching concept is introduced in the source code management. In addition to adapting the previous test strategy, PTA determines generally applicable requirements for the device drivers and creates the relevant regression tests. After introducing the process, PTA plans support for user training and training documentation.
