Today, Jama Software announced a new functional safety validation kit for companies developing life-critical products\u00a0and solutions crucial to the global economy.\u00a0The validation kit will reduce the time necessary to validate Jama and define safety-critical workflows for both hosted customers as well as those deploying Jama behind a firewall.<\/p>\n
\u201cJama\u2019s regulated customers face increased pressure to prove functional safety throughout their product delivery lifecycle, including validating software tools used in development,\u201d said Jennifer Jaffe, vice president of product at Jama Software. \u201cThis fit-for-purpose validation can be labor-intensive, time-consuming and costly. With the validation kit, we\u2019re lifting much of this burden from product developers, lowering the risk and cost of continuous compliance.\u201d<\/p>\n
The validation kit is Jama\u2019s response to growing market demand for functional safety solutions in both traditional regulated industries (medical, aerospace and defense, industrial controls) as well as emerging industries (IoT applications and automotive). The combination of documentation and services offered in the validation kit provides guided procedures for companies looking to validate Jama for their product development process. Annual subscription to the validation kit entitles clients to receive all available recertification documentation; a related defects list and workarounds for every certified release; predefined safety critical workflows and ongoing safety-related notifications; and dedicated user community access for support, Q&A, and feedback to Jama\u2019s product team.<\/p>\n
\u201cProducts labeled \u2018safety-critical\u2019 used to be a small niche, but today almost all devices are critical, with many requiring adherence to certification standards,\u201d said Vance Hilderman, CEO of safety-critical consultancy AFuzion. \u201cWe need to validate and qualify not just the software we build for our clients but our development tools as well. Jama\u2019s new validation package demonstrates we were right in recommending Jama to our clients.\u201d<\/p>\n
The introduction of Jama\u2019s validation kit is one of several major announcements the company has made this year about functional safety and compliance offerings. It follows certification<\/a> by internationally recognized testing body T\u00dcV S\u00dcD and a partnership with test automation leader TraceTronic<\/a> earlier this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":45375,"template":"","class_list":["post-26662","press","type-press","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
