• An overview of industry regulated standards (ISO 26262, DO-178, IEC 61508 and IEC 62304) and why tools such as IBM Rational DOORS Next Generation can be used in a qualified capacity to help organizations develop safety related products.

• How requirements management can be extended to provide complete Continuous Engineering tools for both small and large teams.

• The “ins” and “outs” of the tool qualification process and the impact that tool qualification has on an organizations development process including associated costs.

• The different approaches to meeting tool qualification needs, and the pros and cons of each

• How a virtual private cloud can provide the security and protection needed for product engineering developing safety related products.

 

There’s no mistaking that products are becoming more complex and interconnected with a growing emphasis on safety implications. Reliance on engineering tools for eliminating, reducing or automating elements of the safety lifecycle continues to increase. Using engineering tools with formal tool qualification provides objective evidence of compliance with the regulatory standards, ensuring the tool functionality correctly performs the intended purpose and allowing products to be developed on time and within budget.

 

Additionally, when engineering tools are deployed in the cloud within a set of regulated cloud managed services, they jumpstart an organization’s implementation with qualified cloud infrastructure and validated cloud operational tools. Product engineering is now able to focus on using these tools to develop the product, rather than taking up valuable time to administrate and manage them.
