Automating healthcare testing
QiTASC offers a solution for end-to-end automation to test communication, logistics, and infotainment in an emergency environment. This is relevant, because it can transform the safety and efficiency of healthcare information systems to the better.
Modern hospitals depend on complex Health Care Information Systems (HIS) that manage everything from patient admission to billing, diagnostics, and teletherapy. It is an integrated, computerized platform designed to manage and coordinate all aspects of a healthcare organization’s operations.
The system includes medical, administrative, financial, and legal processes. It enables the secure collection, processing, and exchange of health-related data across devices, applications, and services. Communication wise, they integrate an expanding ecosystem of connected devices: smartphones, sensors, wearables, and medical instruments. They all work together to deliver care safely and efficiently.
The challenge of modern healthcare systems
Today’s hospitals operate like digital organisms: Each component interacts with countless others. As this ecosystem grows, so do the challenges of ensuring data integrity, system interoperability, and patient safety. Every data exchange, every API call, and every connected device introduces potential risk.
In the context of test automation, HIS environments require extensive verification to ensure reliable communication between medical devices, applications, and backend systems, maintaining data integrity, compliance, and patient safety. Ensuring that these systems communicate securely and function reliably demands a comprehensive, automated approach to testing and verification. Manual testing can no longer keep pace. That’s where QiTASC steps in.
Testing must go far beyond the user interface. It has to validate data across devices and services, backend databases, and integration layers such as SOAP, REST, or LDAP. Without automation, such a task would be impossible to perform at the speed and scale healthcare demands.
QiTASC’s approach: Automation as the core of quality
QiTASC provides an all-in-one solution to automate testing across all layers of healthcare systems: Software tools, hardware, a remote lab, and more. Combined, they form the intaQt framework, which can also be called the “Swiss Pocketknife of Automation”, integrating automation for devices, apps, sensors, backend interfaces, and user interfaces into one cohesive solution.
With intaQt, healthcare organizations can:
Develop and run end-to-end automated use cases — from patient admission to discharge and follow-up.
Integrate and test wearables, smart sensors, and IoT medical devices in real-world scenarios.
Automatically collect and correlate test results, logs, and evidence for audit and compliance.
Automation covers everything from functional and regression testing to stress, operational, and long-run testing. This approach ensures that systems perform reliably under every condition. The effects by automated testing are noticeable:
Automation effects project transparency: Test automation makes your project transparent, so you can take the right decisions!
Cost efficient and higher quality: Test automation helps you to fulfill your project goals faster and cheaper.
Test automation reduces project timelines due to parallel tasks and continuously growing test case repositories
Minimized project risk: Test automation gives you the capability to verify features & services accurate and on demand.
Proven technology for scalable results
The automation technology by QiTASC is on the market and battle-tested since 2012 with yearly over 12000 automated test cases and more than 200000 test runs across various industries. This is possible, because with automation the same script for a test case can be reused across lab and live environments. It reduces setup effort and accelerates delivery.
The infrastructure is scalable, which is relevant for hospitals to expand automation on demand. It can integrate tools like HP-ALM or Jira for reporting and dashboards seamlessly. The result are smarter testing, faster validation, and continuous improvement.
Conclusion
Automation pays off: Safer, smarter, and more reliable healthcare systems by QiTASC
By automating verification and validation, QiTASC enables healthcare providers to trust in the functionality and quality of their digital devices. That way, they can focus on delivering care instead of wasting time on a broken infrastructure. Automated testing ensures that every digital heartbeat of a hospital’s infrastructure is secure, efficient, and compliant.
Any healthcare environment is driven by and dependent on technology. Testing cannot be seen as a one-time event, but as an ongoing safeguard that spots any buggs the moment they appear. QiTASC’s end-to-end automation transforms quality assurance from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage.
Trust in a proven, reliable test automation framework not only to test your healthcare systems, but to protect your patients.
