FAIRFAX, CT - Nov 30, 2014 - QualiTest Group’s Radiology Testing Services Leverage Test Automation Accelerators to Increase DICOM and HL7 Test Coverage while Reducing PACS Testing Efforts and Cost by up to 80%

QualiTest is the world’s second largest Quality Assurance and software testing company. Leveraging their years of experience with testing a number of unique solutions in the Radiology industry, QualiTest Group has developed an innovative methodology for Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) testing.

In recent years, PACS have become increasingly complex, while healthcare providers are increasingly dependent on their reliability and scalability. While features are fairly easy to verify, scalability is challenging to test for many reasons.

QualiTest has developed a Virtual Radiology Environment Data System (VRE) that facilitates efficient and realistic testing of radiology systems; VRE simulates all data flows into and out of a PACS and allows for the simple, single execution of point to point tests, as well as full IHE profiles. QualiTest’s VRE Test Accelerator possesses a DICOM image repository that allows for the safe anonymous storage of real world data, provided by multiple vendors and multiple modalities, and searchable by any DICOM attribute.  QualiTest’s testing services leverage the VRE solution to verify accuracy, scalability and flawless communication between all system components. 

As the world’s second largest QA and software testing company, QualiTest excels at testing within a variety of industries, but a foremost concentration resides in healthcare. About 50% of QualiTest’s business is involved in healthcare, including a large range of medical hardware and software. QualiTest has been selected to provide testing services to some of the largest healthcare providers in the world, such as Fuji Medical Systems and Philips.
