Hi,
i would like your opinion on the following situation:
A company develops a medical SW which is class A according to ISO 62304.
The company does what i would call "black box testing" of the SW:
It clicks through all functionalities of the SW. They do that according to a plan and have defined acceptance criteria.
There is no unit testing and no integration testing.
there is no code review.
Risk management comes to the conclusion, when analysing the functionalities, that the system can cause no harm to the patient (class A)
Questions:
1) Does the testing comply with ISO 62304?
2) Does the testing sufficiently challenge the System ?,
3) Does the testing fulfill the essential requirements of the MDD: "to develop and validate according to the state of the art" (He does further validation of the use, i really look for the verification part)
I use "Testing" synonymously (i had to spell check that word, but it seems to really exist) for SW-verification.
thank you for your feedback.
(Yes, the quality system is under ISO 13485, and the SW is going to be CE marked under the directive 93/42)
