Health Informatics Applied Practicum: Testing Scenario and Mitigation Plan
Healthcare institutions have embraced technology, and the majority are developing different technological innovations to execute healthcare services efficiently. The debate has shifted from acknowledging technology inclusion into the healthcare system to the viability of the deployed innovations. In other words, there is an urge to understand how best the developed systems address issues affecting healthcare, for example, the persistent issue of communication. According to Shadid and Thomas (2018), communication problem is prevalent in the healthcare system, resulting from ineffective hierarchical reporting structure and cultural background. More startling is that this problem leads to erroneous prescriptions and fails to meet clients' medication needs. This paper argues that a distributed testing model (Ditest) using a scenario-based testing technique is associated with positive outcomes regarding deploying a mass communication system in the healthcare system. Positive outcomes are also achievable through proper stakeholders' selection and critical testing phase elements identification.
Justification of the Purpose of the Proposed Testing Scenario, its Development Process, and its Application to Mass Messaging Project
As earlier noted, the program in question will be tested guided by a distributed testing model (Ditest) using scenario-based testing techniques. According to Mehmood et al. (2016), this testing approach is appropriate because it aligns with any commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) test automation tool and could be deployed at any testing level. The proposed testing scenario aims to identify the system's anomalies and ensure end users' needs are considered. Besides, applying the test scenario is confident that the system is performing its intended objective. These objectives can be satisfied by utilizing a scenario-based technique in several ways. A scenario-based testing technique is a hypothetical story that helps a system developer think through a complex problem (Mehmood et al., 2016). As such, this technique is essential because it offers latitude for a system developer to think about the system's intended objective and the stakeholders involved. In particular, the endgame ensures that end-users interact with the innovation easily. Further, this approach is appropriate because it gives better test coverage because it tests all system functionalities guided by a measurable objective and goal (Mehmood et al., 2016). In this respect, it is easy to uncover the system's defects. This testing scenario applies to the proposed project because it highlights possible cases in the nursing environment.
Software testing technique is effective when accompanied by other defect prevention techniques. The typical defect prevention technique is static analysis. Further, it is essential to develop a testing scenario guided by testing strategies, levels of testing, and understanding the system's characteristics, as outlined in figure 1 below (Mehmood et al. 2016). This program's testi...
