Challenges in H&LS applications testing

H&LS applications testing needs robust coverage and therefore has a need for optimization due to massive data and test conditions.

Large number of combinations of various parameters make it easy to miss a few critical data combinations.

Interaction and integration points as a major source of defects—most defects arise from simple pair-wise interactions.

Random selection of values create pair-wise combinations, which is bound to create inefficient test sets with random, senseless distribution of values.

Huge amount of effort with long testing cycles needed for exhaustive testing.

The H&LS industry faces fast changing regulatory compliance requirements such as the following:

• Stringent regulatory compliance needs, emerging protocols, and global standards make software testing challenging and expensive for the H&LS industry
• Time-bound upgrades for the software systems need to be carried out in a time-bound manner without compromising on...
