ImpactQA Its Technology Contribution to Fight
COVID-19 Pandemic
The novel coronavirus or COVID-19 will soon be
completing a year of its existence. Time has not
been a healer and the situation has grown
complex, especially in nations with greater
population density. The fight with COVID-19 has
transformed over the months. Technology has been
the frontrunner in this fight, acting as one of
the few better aspects during this pandemic.
Several tech giants have joined hands to launch
voluntary smartphone apps that are capable of
issuing alerts and giving detailed knowledge
about infected locations. According to
researchers and public health officials, these
widely advertised initiatives towards
privacy-friendly, smartphone apps have not
actually impacted the virus or its spread. Even
after Silicon Valley competitors Apple and Google
have been slogging hard to make the technology
work across a broad array of smartphones. Till
date, this partnership has led to the launch of
apps across 14 countries results are bleak but
the fire of hope prevails! You cannot escape
the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it
today.- Abraham Lincoln ImpactQA, a popular
name in the field of software testing has
associated itself with technology aimed at
combating the novel coronavirus. Apart from its
contributions to test contact tracing mobile
apps, this software testing genius has joined
hands with a promising U.S-based initiative. The
concept behind this program is the effective use
of Bluetooth technology to transmit alert
notifications to active app users. One of the
major advantages of this technology is upgraded
data privacy. To simplify, your information is
never passed onto any central database controlled
by the govt. authority or any private
organization. ImpactQA has offered its help to
carry out testing activities for this
initiative with a view to spotting potential
system concerns. Fulfilling Automation Needs in
Medical Sector With its decade-old expertise in
the field of software testing and QA consultancy,
ImpactQA has built a reputation which connects
to the global audience. Quite recently, the
organization stepped up its service reach to
lend a helping hand to one of the renowned names
from the U.S medical fraternity. ImpactQA took
charge of automation testing service requirements
for the company that was handled
2
under a definite time bracket. This was a
conscious decision supported with a sense of
responsibility to back the medical sector in
this cruel and hectic phase. Over the years, the
primary channels for app sales have turned
flexible. This has led to serious opportunities
for independent app development companies to
showcase their efforts in a better way.
According to the FDA, the approx. the number of
medical app users around the world has increased
the count was recorded at 1.7 billion in 2018.
With COVID-19 forcing a deeper stab into the
hearts of the global population, the usefulness
of medical apps for tracking and detecting health
issues has become imperative. ImpactQA has been
trying to act at an extensive scale and deliver
its software testing skills to work on various
medical devices put in place to fight
COVID-19. Futuristic Goals The public health
authorities at the worldwide level are currently
struggling to build specific apps that can help
reduce the spread of COVID-19. Contact tracing
using Bluetooth and other modes need a better
visionary approach from tech biggies like Apple.
The role of software testing companies like
ImpactQA would be valuable in improving software
quality. In the near future, ImpactQA plans to
take a bigger leap with its security and
performance testing approach, thereby,
benefitting COVID- centric apps. There are
reports of active collaborations with medical app
providers which might prove fruitful for the
software testing company to battle the novel
coronavirus. We cannot run away from the current
scenario and it is through better efforts we
might abolish this virus scare. Until then,
companies like ImpactQA need to come forward and
pave a better path for technology to run its
course.
