Automated Verification System

My project was the development of a fully automated verification test system that could perform the testing and generate a report with minimal input. I was responsible for the hardware and software to execute the tests. Because the NIBP modules are a FDA-regulated device, my test system also needed to be FDA-compliant. This meant I needed to produce and maintain documents like product requirements, design history file, design architecture, risk analysis, and more.

The final product is a Python-based system that executes all 45 verification tests automatically using Pytest as a test framework. The hardware setup includes 8 relays and 4 solenoid valves controlled by a microcontroller as well as a pressure transducer, a pump, a blood pressure simulator, and 2 power supplies. Each piece of equipment is controlled by a unique Python module, and each test script uses the required modules to execute the test protocol.
