Abstract

The constantly expanding area of medical device software requires thorough testing to ensure quality and dependability. Effective and efficient testing methods are needed due to medical device complexity and strict regulatory constraints. This article examines medical device software testing automation solutions to improve accuracy, speed-to-market, and regulatory compliance. Traditional medical device software testing approaches face issues such extensive test coverage, confirming safety and effectiveness, and limited resources. Manual testing is rigorous, but inefficiencies and scalability concerns might affect quality assurance. To overcome these issues, automation solutions are considered. Automation improves medical device software testing accuracy, consistency, and repeatability. Automation tools and frameworks run tests faster and more often than human approaches, detecting flaws early and streamlining the testing process. Medical device validation generally requires complicated situations and vast datasets, which automated testing can manage.
