We are a medical device manufacturer that is required to comply with the Food & Drug Administration's (FDA) regulations. I'm in charge of what is known as Non-Product Software, essentially any piece of SW that is used in the day-to-day work of creating our products. Part of complying with the FDA regulations is to ensure that all Non-Product Software has been validated. Some of our engineers are planning on using your software "Git" for their software development processes (latest version) to replace our current software "SVN" and I was hoping you could answer some questions for me? Are you able to provide me with a copy of your Test Plans and/or Test Cases for the "Git" product? Is the software FDA certified? Please contact me with your reply and/or any questions you have. Thank you, Todd Robertson Sr. Software QA Engineer Epocal Inc.

How is svn validated for you? > Are you able to provide me with a copy of your Test Plans and/or Test Cases for the "Git" product? Tests are found inside the t/ directory in your copy of Git[1]. [1] obtained e.g. via "git clone https://github.com/git/git" Note that these are just tests; nothing formal attached. > Is the software FDA certified? I am not aware of that.

No, Git is toxic and are not approved for human consumption ;-). ```
