Case Study: Testing Web Application for Mobile Nursing Providers

About the Customer

The Customer is an American Healthcare Company developing software solutions and web applications for the Mobile Nursing Providers in Healthcare, Life Sciences, Pharmaceuticals and similar industries.

The Challenge (Mobile Nursing Providers Application)

When we were contacted, the Customer was developing a healthcare web application for home nursing service providers who provides mobile home care for patients suffering from chronic illness and for the elderly patients.

The web application software offered complex healthcare functionality, such as centralized control over internal and external mobile nursing service processes. The software solution also supported flexible working methods like centralized as well as local service planning etc. The web application also had a medical document database of patient reports, patient records, etc. The application also allowed the management of electronic copies of handwritten patient documents, prescriptions etc. The application was capable of running on both desktop as well as mobile devices.

The complexity of the mobile nursing web application posed a significant challenge both for the development as well as the testing team. Even though the American Customer was fully responsible for preparing the business analysis and conducting the frontend and backend development in-house, they were searching for the best web application testing services vendor company to perform end-to-end specialized testing of the software product to ensure a successful delivery. The Customer selected CredibleSoft, an award winning web app testing service provider, to perform a comprehensive end-to-end release testing of the mobile nursing web application.
