Black Box Testing with Exploratory Approach of a Software for Remote Monitoring of Patients with COVID-19 and Other Infectious Diseases

ABSTRACT

Covid-19 pandemic has set the world on fire. It has impacted every aspect of our society. One of the worst affected parts is the countries' health systems. Our goal is to provide a proof of concept for cost effective telemedicine system which can be used by hospitals for monitoring of thousands of patients at once, thus medical personnel exposure to the virus is minimized. In this paper we aim to put this system through the best practices of software testing so we can determine if it achieves its primary functions, keeping in line with the general idea of cost effectiveness. Black box testing with the exploratory approach was used for functionality and feature testing as it gives the most accurate real-world results. During the tests, several bugs were found and fixed. Because of the fact, that the testers were actual medical personnel, we have received valuable information on how to improve the quality of the product, so it can be even more ease to use and provide the necessary robustness and data visualization.
