THE CHALLENGE
Improve mission-critical applications
At a major American health care provider, they use more than 2,000 custom and off-the-shelf software applications across the organization. 25 of these have been identified as being highly critical to the company’s daily operations.
“It’s imperative that these systems work. If they don’t, it’s crisis mode,” said Gerrard Kimball, QA Program Manager of the health care provider’s Enterprise IT department. The tier-one applications are highly critical to the experience and safety of patients serviced and include electronic health records and other tools for patient tracking.
THE SOLUTION
Automated flows to monitor applications
Using the Leapwork Automation Platform, Kimball and his team have set up flows to monitor the applications for system status and the time it takes to perform certain tasks in the system.
The tests are run on remote machines, or “headless canaries”, located in various locations throughout the organization. The machines contain a production environment on which the tests are run.
THE IMPACT
Automating 1 application’s monitoring per month
Before using Leapwork, monitoring had to be done manually by subject matter experts, like clinical informatics specialists and physician educators.
Now, Kimball and the team have automated approximately 30 of these workflows per application, and all the performance data is exported to the organization’s business intelligence platform, where they are displayed in customized dashboards.
The management of the Enterprise IT department have set up yearly goals for system performance, and with the reports from Leapwork and the BI dashboards, it is easy to track the progress on these goals.
Kimball and the team are doing a gradual roll-out of automation in their organization. They have spent approximately a year automating the monitoring of 11 tier one applications, and with Leapwork they are now able to work at a pace of automating one application per month.
With Leapwork in place, the operator has successfully automated functional tests for both the patient portal and EMR application. This has enabled QA efforts to match the need for faster development cycles and a growing demand for smarter digital services. Tester time has been freed up to focus on exploratory work and implementing more automation.
With robust testing in place, everyone from developers to practitioners can have confidence that medical information is accurate and patient data is secure.
