Reliable Testing for Healthcare Software
Ensure performance, compliance, and security with Tata Elxsi’s end-to-end application testing services tailored for digital health solutions.
Healthcare Software Maintenance
With strict regulatory and quality requirements, testing of healthcare applications often operating in integrated ecosystems necessitates innovation and advanced digital technologies. With enterprises increasing investments in software R&D, safety and accuracy remain of prime importance along with secured data interoperability, stable device performance, and compliance with global regulatory standards.
To achieve the aforementioned objectives, healthcare organizations often employ process-driven healthcare application testing and maintenance solutions that ensure faster time-to-market and reduce testing costs and resources. Healthcare software testing services are also a crucial part of ensuring high-quality performance, regulatory compliance, and patient safety.
Business Challenges
As healthcare systems become more complex with increased interoperability, conforming to ever-stringent quality and regulatory standards and achieving zero error is a challenge. Increased efficiency and productivity with near-zero error accuracy in healthcare applications certainly make provider's life easier along with better patient outcomes. Testing of healthcare applications thus needs domain, technology, and regulatory expertise, with a good understanding of criticality, functionality, and clinical usage environment. To accelerate the healthcare application testing process, organizations often rely on digital technologies like automation and DevOps environment for end-to-end CI/CD, advanced quality control tools, testing frameworks, and reusable components saving time and maximizing resources.

Healthcare Application Testing Service Framework
Our healthcare application testing & maintenance framework ensures continuous validation and reliable performance of embedded healthcare systems. At its core, a centralized test manager coordinates tasks like scheduling, version control, hardware integration, and production authorization. Connected to both development and production environments, it supports multi-platform hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing. Integrated with test editors, ALM servers, and analytics dashboards, the framework enables automated, scalable, and traceable testing workflows, ideal for complex, regulated medical environments.
Tools & Interfaces
The framework integrates multiple test editors that allow engineers to define and run custom validation scenarios. It connects with the customer ALM server to align with broader application lifecycle management strategies and leverages dart dashboards to track performance metrics and test outcomes. These interfaces ensure traceability, data-driven improvements, and alignment with development objectives.
Core Orchestration & Management
At the heart of the system is the test manager, which handles critical operations such as task scheduling, program execution, hardware information fetching, version control, and authorization for production runs. It acts as the control center, bridging front-end test tools with backend servers and managing the testing flow across different environments to ensure consistency and compliance.
Server Integration & HIL Testing
The test manager is connected to a development server and production server, enabling distinct test environments for iterative development and final validation. It interfaces with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test systems—HIL1 multi variant system, HIL2 multiple ECUs, and HIL3 multi platform—allowing real-time testing of embedded systems in a controlled, automated environment. This ensures robustness, performance validation, and hardware-software compatibility in healthcare applications.
