Insurance is experiencing a technology-driven transformation. Insurers are modifying traditional legacy systems, virtualizing their operations, and making use of the latest digital innovation to optimize efficiency, engender customer engagement, and stay up to date with all changing regulations and compliance standards.
There is a lot of debate around whether QA and Agile are compatible. Some say that QA (quality assurance) is often compromised during Agile’s quick sprints. Yet, foregoing QA altogether will not set a solid foundation for a project. There’s always a need for balance and it’s all relative.
The use of technology in healthcare is now a norm. Notably, IT, AI, and IoT promote efficiency, increase doctor-patient engagement, and provide decision-making data. Most healthcare software or apps are developed to provide services such as telemedicine, remote patient monitoring, electronic health records, medical billing, appointment scheduling, and practice management tools.
Writing unit tests is pretty much standard practice these days. Otherwise, how would you make sure that your code does what you expect? Yet, some software is mission-critical and merely testing a few examples – or even randomized testing – is not enough.
If we look back to the early days of gaming, it seems incredible just how far we have come in just a few decades. From super simple games with basic visuals and equally simple soundtracks, today they can take us to worlds that sometimes seem to defy the imagination.
Have you ever felt like you are performing Testing in the dark, i.e., verifying only the UI and not knowing why it works that way? In that case, you are performing black-box Testing. Since QA cannot understand the code in this approach, crucial defects may slip through and remain undetected.
Software quality assurance (QA) is really important and indispensable in highly regulated industries such as insurance and an effective QA process acts as a safety net to protect companies against legal & operational risks by ensuring software integrity, compliance and security.
