Project Description:
The customer is developing an innovative low-field MRI system designed to bring MRI imaging closer to the point of care and support image-guided medical procedures.
During the Discovery Phase of the MRI Beta software solution, Spyrosoft supports the customer in preparing the regulatory, architectural, and requirements foundations necessary to reduce implementation risks and reliably estimate the scope and cost of the next development phase. The work focuses on regulatory and risk analysis, DICOM viewer selection, software architecture and IEC 62304 classification, as well as software requirements and initial design documentation.
Scope of Services:
Design, implement and maintain automated test suites for backend and web applications.
Develop automated tests for Python/FastAPI-based services and React-based user interfaces.
Perform REST/API, backend and service-level testing.
Execute integration and system testing against software requirements specifications (SRS).
Validate data flows, service interfaces and error-handling mechanisms.
Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines and support automated regression execution.
Perform security testing activities, including robustness validation and negative testing.
Analyse requirements and maintain traceability between requirements, test cases and results.
Document test execution and prepare reproducible verification evidence.
Collaborate with development, QA, verification and DevOps teams throughout the project lifecycle.
