Full Spectrum Software Releases New Software Report for Scientific Community.

Southborough, MA, (Vocus/PRWEB ), January 25, 2011

Full Spectrum Software, a life sciences consultancy and developer of software for medical devices has released a new software report on Qt Quick. This software development environment will compete with Microsoft’s WPF technology.

Full Spectrum Software has been developing software for medical devices in Windows, Mac, Linux and a variety of embedded environments since 1995. A powerful tool for cross platform software development has been Nokia’s Qt development environment. Qt allows software developers to create one set of source code for medical devices that will run on all three major platforms and will retain the unique look and feel of both Windows and Macintosh. Andrew Dallas, a highly respected technical author in the scientific community provides an in-depth analysis of this new software development technology.

With the advent of WPF, Microsoft has created a huge paradigm shift. Microsoft has created an environment that allows graphic designers to work with tools they are familiar with. Qt Quick is the upcoming version of a user interface design tool for Qt that will compete with Microsoft’s WPF technology. This new software report by Andrew Dallas compares the two software development tools and highlights the strengths and weaknesses of each. This software report is a follow up to a recent on demand webinar about WPF created by Andrew Dallas as part of a year long series on software for medical devices.

According to Andrew Dallas “Qt has long enjoyed the support of the Linux community, a relatively large and growing faction within the scientific software development community.” If it performs as advertised, it should be as valuable a tool for linux and cross-platform developers as WPF. For developers of Linux software, Qt Quick could represent the same paradigm shift that WPF was for Windows programmers.

Andrew Dallas recommends that early adopters should start to learn the product. Many engineers are challenged by the migration to WPF and any new tool will cause growing pains. The first few revisions of Qt Quick will likely have the usual contingent of bugs and limitations and knowing those will help developers to produce commercial quality products in the short term.

Full Spectrum Software Releases Software Technology Report Called How to Survive in 2009 and Beyond

Southborough, MA, Vocus/PrWeb, May 6, 2009

A Software Technology Report reviewing what small to mid-sized medical device makers can do from a software development perspective to immediately add value to their products. It provides an overview of current market conditions and what the new definition of software innovation is in this new market. The report covers emerging standards in EMR and how they could impact small to mid-sized medical device makers from a software product development perspective.

Southborough, MA (Vocus/PRWEB ) May 6, 2009 -- Full Spectrum Software announced their fourth Software Technology Report for medical device makers. This report looks at the current market conditions, what the new definition of innovation is and what impact the development of EMR's will have from a software product development standpoint specifically for the medical device industry.

The hospital market is suffering economically and medical device makers need a strategy to make their products more attractive to hospital buyers. Many medical device makers can employ some software development strategies to accomplish this. Full Spectrum Software also examines what can be done from a medical software development perspective to deal with emerging standards. 2009 may be the year that the standards battle begins in earnest. The new administration has announced that there will be funding and mandates for EMRs. However, will those EMR's be based on HL-7, CCR or will they be influenced more by PHR's? Full Spectrum’s Software Technology Report offers useful information on how medical device makers can navigate this sea of standards and still be financially successful. The new Software Technology Report, How to Survive in 2009 and Beyond is a must read for software developers involved with software development for the medical device industry. The report is free and no registration is required.

"In How to Survive in 2009 and Beyond”, Full Spectrum Software offers a new definition for what has traditionally been the lifeblood of the medical device industry, innovation. In 2009, innovation may look very different from innovation in 2007. Connectivity and web services may play a major role in both new and existing medical devices architectures. PHR's or Personal Health Records are being touted by software giants Microsoft and Google. Both companies and millions of internet savvy consumers may well influence the shape and format of any new EMR standard.

Medical device makers need to move quickly to catch what could very well be a transformational event in the American healthcare market. As one of the leading software developers for the medical device industry, Full Spectrum Software has unique insight into the future of medical device software development.

Full Spectrum Software Announces Release of Obfuscation Software Technology Report

Southborough, MA, December 4, 2008

Full Spectrum Software today announced the first in a series of 10 Software Technical Reports which are designed to help senior software engineering managers at medical device manufacturers stay informed on the latest software technologies and tool sets for FDA controlled software projects, best practices in software engineering and SQA and offer some practical, hands-on tips and techniques for issues such as software project management and SQA automation.

Each comprehensive Software Technical Report will be featured on Full Spectrum Software’s home page for free download. The first report, called Software Obfuscation, is available today for free download. Software Obfuscation is a software engineering technique and a set of related tools that allow medical device makers to protect their source code from reverse engineering and outright piracy. Published in conjunction with leading software obfuscation tool set provider PreEmptive Solutions, the report provides valuable insight into how this technology works and why it is important.

According to a recent study by PreEmptive Solutions, less than 7% of all companies in the life sciences industries utilize this technology. In stark contrast, software obfuscation is used in everything from sensitive government applications to consumer software. With the widespread adoption of this technology in virtually every other industry, medical device makers have been slow to adopt this powerful tool set.

Software obfuscation works by employing a series of techniques to make source code extremely difficult for humans and computers to reverse engineer. Software tools from PreEmptive Solutions apply multiple layers of seemingly random complexity to the source code and also provide the management tools to automatically strip away the complexity when the source code is being actively worked on.

Each month, Full Spectrum Software will feature a new Software Technical Report on the company’s home page.
