Strategies for Testing your Automation System - Three Part Blog Series

Strategies for Testing your Automation System: 3 Part Blog Series

We are rolling out a 3-part blog series on how to test your clinical automation system effectively and accurately. Subscribe here so you don’t miss an article.

Our three-part blog series will give you clear strategies, directions, and structure on how to properly perform user acceptance testing of your clinical automation system before going live with the system. Fully validating system components in a ‘wet’ environment verifies your integrated clinical business processes beyond the vendor qualification using your own specimens, instrumentation and rules logic. Live testing ensures that your system operates in line with your functional and quality requirements. The process of testing an automation system can seem overwhelming and confusing: where to start? how to make sure the right elements of workflow are covered? What is the best way to determine if system features have been over- or under-tested?  Often, we are left ‘on our own’ without a clear roadmap or recipe to follow that ensures full validation of our automation system workflow, specimen movement and final result reporting data flow to the LIS. What’s needed is a risk-based testing approach to efficiently validate your system performance before you go live.

Join us as we lead you through a smart strategy approach for testing your clinical automation system.

Here is what you can learn from this series:

Part I:      Practical approaches to risk-based testing for your automation system

Part II:          Building maintainable wet testing plans for success

Part III:         Collation of data and report compilation to meet regulatory and quality compliance
