Software Testing

Finding the defects others miss

Awarded “Best Contributor”

We were tasked with performing detailed Software testing and analysis of a safety-critical medical diagnostic device. As we investigated the code we discovered:
  • Unbounded recursion through 8 levels of calls in an error detection / reporting routine
  • Critical data which could be corrupted when Interrupt Service Routines (ISRs) ran at specific relative times
  • Execution times for critical ISRs which were much longer than the designers intended
  • Dozens of other potential problems of varying severity
We developed and deployed a complete analysis process which found latent defects that their existing processes could not find. As a result, our client awarded us with Best Value of all 3rd Party Contributors.
