###EndCaseStudy###

Since the system is in the medical domain and therefore in the safety critical area, testing
needs to be rigorous and evidence is required that the system has been adequately tested.
Identify THREE measures that would typically be part of the test approach in this domain
and which are not always applicable in other domains!

Scenario: 2
Reviews
A software development organization wants to introduce some specific improvements to its
test process. Currently, most of their testing resources are focussedon system testing. They
are developing embedded software, and do not have a simulation environment to enable
them toexecute software modules on the development host. They have been advised that
introducing inspections and reviews could be the most appropriate step forward.
