Many times when people hear “testing” they immediately think of software.   Successful and comprehensive validation testing of products in the medical field change the game.  They involve software, hardware, bios and even robotic devices.  If any defects are missed, especially during testing of critical functions of these products, it could potentially put a person at risk.  Hence, the people, processes, and tools to validate these products go through a very complete and detailed testing rigor.

These complex products that are being developed use very sophisticated integration solutions.  This just puts more pressure on the QA process to handle and cover every testing condition possible.  You can not miss here!

The bottom line is that your testing approach must be fool proof.  People’s lives are literally at stake.  There can be no exceptions.
