Synergy performs software verification and validation for commercial-grade items in accordance with IEEE 7-4.3.2.  Synergy begins with the manufacturer's commercial practices for product design, development and quality assurance.  After a through vendor audit of the manufacturers system, Synergy undertakes additional activities to reach an equivalent level of assurance as an item manufactured under a 10CFR50, Appendix B program.

Additional testing may be needed to supplement the vendor's tests and build confidence in the device and its functionality, or to examine its response to specific conditions or abnormal events.  Additional reviews or analyses may be needed (e.g., review of the device design and analysis of its failure modes), depending on the extent of reviews and verifications performed the manufacturer during product development.  Synergy has developed specific software quality tools to assist in these analysis.
