SYNOPSIS

Navigating the intricate landscape of SIS change management during the operational phase of the safety lifecycle can pose formidable challenges, particularly in preventing the emergence of application programme defects or deviations from the SRS.  Conventional strategies commonly involve labour-intensive testing of the application programme against the SRS or C&Es. However, these manual methods are not only costly, but also introduce a considerable risk of human error. In this webinar, we will present a SIS agnostic approach to automate application programme testing using new technology and open standards.
