McSorley Quality Software Solutions LLC
Providing guidance and leadership for quality software pursuits.
Guidance for your software quality challenges
Software process, projects, architecture considerations, medical device quality regulations and requirements, These can be overwhelming and confusing. Let me help you kick off your projects or provide education for you and your project team on the best software quality pursuits.
Let’s Talk
The cost of software development is determined by how early quality considerations are introduced. If you develop the software and then later say, “Hey – let’s have someone test it.”, you’re behind the eight ball and in a costly situation. Software issues found at this stage of the game can cost you 3 to 10 times more than if you planned for quality review and testing in advance. The later in the project the issues are found, the more costly the issues are to fix.
I’m an advocate for early quality involvement and intervention, and can guide and teach your team what that means in real terms, application and situations.
- Understanding your architectural needs
- Writing requirements for functionality and compliance
- Testing early and often
- Involving the user community to build what they want AND need
- Understanding medical software compliance requirements early to plan for it appropriately (62304, 13485, 21CFR Parts 11 and 820, and more).
- …. and many more
It is time to stop floundering in the realm of being overwhelmed and have a confident guide to lead you through your project.

Hi, my name is Paula McSorley. I have over 30 years in the software industry, and am looking forward to sharing my acquired wisdom with you and your teams as we figure out your needs.
Below are a few thoughts and questions when pursuing the best software solutions.
Product Planning
Build the right architecture the first time.
Is the cloud right for your project?
What are the data retention needs?
How stable is the environment for failover?
What kind of authentication and security is in place?
Who is your user? What are their needs? Don’t think just for functionality, but for maintainability and compliance too.
Requirements & Testability
Many requirements suffer from lack of specificity and achievability.
Are your requirements testable?
Achievable?
Maintainable?
Upgradeable?
Are Compliance needs covered?
Tools
Take advantage of your current tools’ capabilities.
Most companies have myriads of tools at their disposal, but don’t know their power and value.
Let me explore the use of your current tools with you and then help to educate your team on more advanced usage and productivity.
If your current tools don’t “fit” your needs, then let’s discuss your requirements, and plan for choosing, developing, testing and rollout of your new tool!
