Manual validation and regression testing of clinical laboratory information systems (LIS) are inadequate. This study explores LIS testing history and proposes automation strategies to enhance quality assurance (QA) and system efficiency.

Area of Science:

Medical Informatics
Software Engineering
Clinical Laboratory Science

Background:

Manual validation and regression testing of clinical laboratory information systems (LIS) are often inadequate and inefficient.
These challenges can lead to significant problems in clinical laboratory operations and data integrity.
Existing quality assurance (QA) processes may not fully address the complexities of modern LIS.

Purpose of the Study:

To examine the historical context of regression testing in LIS.
To identify and illustrate common problems associated with current LIS testing methods.
To explore potential strategies for improving LIS QA through automation.

Main Methods:

Historical review of LIS regression testing practices.

Exploration of partial and complete automation approaches for LIS QA.

Main Results:

Manual LIS testing methods are frequently insufficient for ensuring system reliability.
Automation offers a viable path to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of LIS QA.
Specific examples of problems highlight the need for systematic testing improvements.

Conclusions:

Automating LIS regression testing is crucial for enhancing system quality assurance.
Adopting automated solutions can mitigate risks associated with manual testing inefficiencies.
Further development and implementation of automated LIS QA are recommended.
