Welcome back to Morris Medical Monday: a weekly series for medical device development companies (and companies who are related to such companies), providing some useful information about Polarion solutions<\/A> and Polarion extensions<\/A>.<\/p>\n

Today we will continue on the subject of Polarion’s MedPack extension<\/A>, and have a look into MedPack’s Integration Test<\/EM> Work Item type.<\/p>\n


\n

Integration Test<\/H1>
\n

Description<\/H3>
\nAn integration test description according to clause 5.6.3 of the IEC 62304:2006. Any issue of this type either describes the test completely or links to test procedure descriptions or code to perform the test. It must be linked to the software item(s) and software unit(s) covered by the test. Integration tests must only be performed in case of a class B or class C project.
\n
