34. Machine Learning Exposes The Secrets Behind Healthcare FWA 4/4/2019

    When most of us think of spies, the image that immediately springs to mind is someone cool, handsome or beautiful, and highly cultured. James Bond, of course, is the archetype of that image.

    In April 2018, we opened a brand-new hospital wing at Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust. The new wing includes three new wards and is more than three times the size of the wards we moved from. Yet it is much calmer and quieter.

We were accustomed to working in close quarters with colleagues just a few feet away at a neighbouring patient bedside.

38. How Does A Test Case Management Tool Optimize Productivity? 1/23/2019

    A test case management tool assists you to manage, organize and report on your all testing efforts in one central location. It stores both manual and automated test cases together. It also links test cases to the defects, tasks, and requirements. It tracks modifications made to the test cases for overall traceability, visibility and easy reverting to the traditional versions if important.

39. 6 Key Benefits Of Automation Testing 12/27/2018

    According to a report by MarketsandMarkets, an estimated 110.12 Billion USD is expected to be spent on the Wireless Health Market by 2020. With soaring demand for interoperability, regulatory compliance, and of course, the end-user technology (various devices and a wide range of OS) compliance, QA testing of healthcare applications at the moment involves extensive technology proficiency, substantial time and resources, as well as the cost factor.

    Before you go down the path of deciding which smartphones to deploy, I recommend you ask two questions. One: “Does everyone need a smartphone?” And two: “How do I determine that?” I strongly believe that you need to start by thinking about end users and the IT services they need.
