Scaling Continuous Integration Practices to Teams with Parallel DevelopmentIBM UrbanCode Products
Slides from an Urbancode and Accurev joint webinar: http://www.accurev.com/webinar/20120119-Scaling-CI-Parallel-Development
Continuous integration is simple with a single development team. But when software projects grow to multiple teams and dependencies, continuous integration loses effectiveness due to parallel projects, varying release schedules, and differing cadences between teams. As a result, many teams unknowingly lose the benefits of continuous integration, and therefore suffer from a lack of feedback and poor quality.
In this webinar, UrbanCode’s Eric Minick and AccuRev’s Chris Lucca will explain how to:
- Scale continuous integration builds across multiple development teams working on parallel projects
- Share only code that has passed continuous integration from other teams to avoid broken builds and confusion
- Automate the configuration of your test environment to handle fluid projects done in parallel

Breaking the Barriers to Agile Adoption in Safety- and Quality-Critical Envir...Seapine Software
This document discusses barriers to adopting Agile practices in safety-critical environments due to regulatory requirements for documentation, traceability, and process control. It notes that regulations require maintaining specifications, design documents, source code, and change records. However, Agile practices embrace early feedback and change. The document proposes using tools to integrate requirements management with Agile delivery processes, manage specifications as individual records, and automate change management to demonstrate process control while allowing for change. It will demonstrate a process using these techniques.
If you’re managing risk in Excel but your requirements are in a separate tool, you are creating a gap that has significant time costs to manage and increases the possibility of errors.
- How hard is it to keep your risk register updated as requirements change?
- Do you know the current status of your mitigating actions?
- Can you assign actions, see who is responsible for each action, and see if they are making progress?
- And, most importantly, can you relate all this information back to your requirements?
Review this webinar presentation to learn more about closing the gap between risk and requirements. Using an FMEA as an example, Gordon Alexander, Seapine Software solutions consultant, explains how an integrated risk and requirements management solution can save you time and help you systematically and continuously manage risks and requirements.
This webinar discusses two fundamental practices for improving risk management: identifying risks through failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) and investigating issues through root cause analysis (RCA). FMEAs identify potential risks proactively to mitigate them, while RCAs reactively determine the root causes of issues to implement corrective actions. The webinar provides examples of using FMEAs and RCAs for a medical device and discusses how a risk management software can help structure both processes.
Most Americans have concerns about driverless cars according to a recent poll. 88% would be worried about riding in a driverless car, 79% are concerned about equipment failure, and over half are worried about liability issues if the driverless car is in an accident or could be hacked and taken over. Many Americans also fear personal data collection by auto companies during rides.
This document discusses Test-Driven Development (TDD). It defines TDD as writing unit tests before writing any production code. TDD helps ensure code is consistently refactored for better design. The document outlines the TDD process of writing a test, seeing it fail, writing code to pass the test, then refactoring. It discusses using TDD with legacy code by refactoring code to be testable. Sample unit tests are provided to demonstrate testing default constructor values. Benefits of TDD include better code design, earlier defect detection, and fewer defects in production releases.
The document summarizes the Scrum framework which uses sprints, daily stand-ups, and artifacts to manage product development. It includes:
1) Sprints last 1-6 weeks and include sprint planning, development, review, and retrospective;
2) Daily 15-minute stand-ups are used for status updates and planning;
3) Artifacts include a product backlog, sprint backlog, and burn down charts to track progress.
Many medical device development teams struggle with traceability, wasting hours, days, or even weeks creating and maintaining a traceability matrix. Other teams use integrated product development tools to more easily manage risk traceability and core artifacts.
This document summarizes the results of a 2013 survey on medical device development. It highlights top time-consuming tasks, needed improvements in visibility, and risk management as still being mostly document-centric. The document also discusses EngiSystems' software products that help with design controls, verification and validation, and compliance for medical device development.
Beyond FDA Compliance Webinar: 5 Hidden Benefits of Your Traceability MatrixSeapine Software
This document discusses the regulatory requirements for software traceability and the benefits of using a requirements trace matrix (RTM). It notes that traceability is required by FDA guidance to link requirements with design, implementation, testing and risk mitigation. An RTM provides benefits such as ensuring all requirements are implemented and tested, managing changes, and demonstrating that hazards are mitigated. The document provides an example of how an RTM can be used and validated as a software tool.
When created early in the product development lifecycle, a trace matrix can do more than just help you gain FDA approval for your device. Unfortunately, many companies create the matrix sporadically during a project, mainly right before regulatory submission—too late to capture the benefits a well-maintained matrix can deliver.
During this recorded webinar, guest speaker Steve Rakitin, President of Software Quality Consulting, discussed five of the benefits gained by maintaining a matrix throughout the project. A software engineer with more than 20 years of experience in the medical device industry, Steve explains how a trace matrix can help you:
- Plan and estimate testing and validation needs
- Ensure all requirements are implemented
- Verify that all requirements have been tested
- Manage change throughout product development
- Provide evidence that hazard mitigations are implemented and validated
In this presentation, which was recorded at the 2013 Medical Devices Summit West in San Francisco, David Vogel of Intertech Engineering and Aimee Raymond of Cordis discuss some current problems and solutions in medical device development, including how to:
- Manage the real hierarchy of harms, hazards, and causes
- Prioritize and manage risk
- Implement traceability to ensure risk controls have been implemented correctly
- Deal with overall risk assessment and residual risk

Webinar - Maximizing Requirements Value Throughout the Product Lifecycle Seapine Software
The document discusses maximizing value from requirements throughout the product lifecycle. It argues that defining and delivering customer value is challenging due to disconnects between developers and users. Many projects fail or lose benefits due to problems originating in requirements practices. The document advocates treating requirements as a discipline through practices like just-in-time delivery of accurate, contextual insights. This involves skills like cultivating diverse sources and tools to identify the right information stakeholders need.
Medical Device Development - Automating Traceability and DocumentationSeapine Software
The document summarizes the key requirements and challenges for automating compliant product development in the medical device industry.

It also discusses challenges like information overload, difficulty tracking changes, and disconnects between groups. The document proposes an ideal automated solution that provides traceability, workflow integration, and helps companies focus on innovation while meeting compliance. It concludes by discussing the need to document the ideal solution, gain management support, and select the right technology.
FDA Expectations for Traceability in Device & Diagnostic DesignSeapine Software
The document summarizes FDA expectations and requirements for device and diagnostic design. It discusses regulations around traceability, design controls, and reporting requirements. It also provides examples of recent FDA enforcement actions and common inspector questions related to design documentation and traceability. Finally, it outlines practical challenges companies face in complying with requirements, and proposes an eight-step lean strategy to systematically address traceability throughout the product development lifecycle in a cost-effective manner.
Take the Pain (and Weekends) Out of Test Case ManagementSeapine Software
The document discusses the need for test case management and how spreadsheets are insufficient. It notes that test cases should link to requirements and defects to show what hasn't been tested. The document provides steps for effective test management, including maintaining these links, defining reports, and using data to focus testing and understand quality trends over time. Automating management is presented as key to efficiently handling test cases as projects increase in size and complexity.
The document discusses the business case for adopting agile methods. It outlines how business environments have become more dynamic and uncertain, requiring more flexible approaches. Agile prioritizes individuals, interactions, working software and responding to change over rigid processes and documentation. Common myths about agile are addressed, and how agile approaches help manage risk and deliver value incrementally through iterative development and feedback loops. The document advocates that both teams and enterprises need to change to become more collaborative, customer-centric and quality-focused to succeed with agile.
This document discusses the importance of requirements traceability for managing changing requirements during software development. Requirements traceability links requirements to related artifacts like test cases, code, and defects to ensure changes propagate in all directions. When requirements change, the traceability matrix helps identify what other artifacts need updating by showing connections between requirements and development items. Maintaining bidirectional traceability from requirements to final tests and vice versa allows projects to stay on track as needs evolve.
Agile at Seapine (University of Cincinnati 2011)Seapine Software
The document discusses challenges in implementing Agile practices at Seapine Software. It describes how the speaker develops using Agile while others use Waterfall. Key challenges include getting cooperation from others who estimate tasks differently, adopting test-driven development and pair programming, and integrating quality assurance and documentation into the Agile process. While difficult, the speaker believes Agile is worth it for better estimates, testing, adapting to changes, and avoiding wasted work. Additional resources on Agile at Seapine are provided.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Note the 2 nd two bullets are the V & V questions we ask ourselves.
Quickly A: requirement with no corresponding design, i.e. unfulfilled B: un-required design element how does that happen? un-necessary design (gold plating, etc.) more often, inadequate resolution of requirements
Quickly A: requirement with no corresponding system level software test (untested) B: test with no corresponding requirement how does that happen? inadequate resolution of requirements – requirements end up being documented in the tests - tests usually constructed from observed behavior (useless)
Top level arrowheads on wrong end. Two way arrows wrong .. A mess.
Note only software dealt with here. Similar traces for hardware, mechanical, etc. Reuse: If company makes many similar products, many of top level Design Inputs will be very similar. Applicable Standards may be same or slightly different. Imagine Project B copies top 2 levels (inputs, system requirements, and software requirements) from Project A. As differences in needs are identified, they can be traced to system requirement changes necessitated by the DI change because trace is in place. Similarly, changes in system requirement traces to needed changes in software requirements, etc.
Note – simplified situation for PPT purposes Quality System in top un-shaded area. Applies to all projects/devices, etc. High level, generic. Policy (top red) calls out the regulations, standards (general and device specific), and guidances with which the company complies. Each reg/std/guidance traces to specific element that belong at the Process level (e.g. the existence of plans, reviews, verification, validation, etc.) Note trace from SW Dev Process to SDP and from SW Test Process to SVVP The contents of project artifacts or specifics of activities that are spelled out in a guidance or standard are traced from that source doc to the project doc. In this case, note that 62304 traces to SDP and SVVP. It’s important to make these trace links obvious, visible, reportable, usable. Document users won’t comply with trace implications if they have to work too hard for them. Tools are needed so users don’t have to work so hard for creating and using the traces. So far, pretty generic and reusable device to device. When we get to green boxes the information gets more specific. Note that each of these could refer to sub-hierarchies. For instance, System level requirements/testing could be broken down as follows.
Depending on similarity of manufacturer devices, much can be reused project to project. Similar diagram could (should) apply to software requirements. Trace the requirements from 62304 for System Level Software Testing down as far as appropriate in the hierarchy. This takes a fair amount of design and planning, but worth the effort. There are no “set” ways to do it. The style and design depends on the manufacturer’s needs, tastes, and need to control. This kind of traceability not only applies to V&V artifacts, but also to SDP’s, SVVP’s, CMP’s, Change Management, Defect Management, etc.
Documents, in general should fan-out, i.e. one to many. Seldom many to one. If too much one to one, either not enough detail in child document, or too much detail in parent. Many to many may seem like it’s helpful, but in general is unusable.
