Summary:Agile has been the subject of safety and critical domain in recent years. Emerging medical devices are highly relying on embedded software that runs on the specific platform in real time. The development of embedded software is different from ordinary software development due to the hardware-software dependency. Previous literature reviews discussed the challenges of bringing Agile practices to embedded software developments in general. This paper outlines the challenges and addresses the future work from medical embedded software development perspective.
