But significant challenges in developing and integrating software and hardware, is leading to late product launches

Poor collaboration among and within hardware and software development teams (different tools, terminology)

Increasing complexity of product design

Hard to understand tradeoffs between hardware and software

Best Practices for Complex Systems Peer Review

Demo of Automation in Peer Reviews within the Product Lifecycle

With PeerReview Complete you can…Catch flaws early in the product development cycle Review requirements, design docs, schematics, &

source code with team members anywhere Capture review metrics for process improvement

and for regulatory requirements

9Source code & moreSchematicsDesign Docs

1. Find and fix flaws early

2. Make reviews positive and painless

3. Use checklists especially in regulated industries

4. Be prepared before you review

5. Improve team communication using reviews

1. Find and Fix Flaws Early

Conduct peer reviews of requirements documents with hardware and software teams to find issues early and establish traceability across the product lifecycle.

What to Review?Doors requirements documents Test plans in Quality Manager Source code in RTC Rhapsody models

2. Make Reviews Positive & Painless

Positive – Managers must foster a

good review culture in which finding

defects is viewed positively.

Painless – Use collaboration tools

and integrate them with other

workflow tools

3. Review Checklists Work

Simplify compliance reporting with review checklists & software

•CMMI, FDA, PCI – review is mandated

•A&D (DO-178C and D0-254) – review is mandated

•Automotive  (ISO 26262) – review is mandated

•Embedded systems – very high cost of change

•Agile teams – fast, convenient way to collaborate

For regulated industries - checklists substantially improve results for both authors and reviewers.

5. Improve Team Collaboration& Communication Using Reviews

• Use reviews to establish mentoring relationships between junior and senior team members

• Bring geographically-distributed teams and offshore teams up to speed more quickly with better quality

• Integrate review capabilities into software like IBM Rational that your team use everyday
