Discrepant Analysis: How Can We Test a Test?

How Much Can We Save the Cost from Shifting from Single - Test Strip to Multiple - Test Strip in Point of Care Testing Analysis for Common Clinical Chemistry Parameters ?

Can We Trust Test Outcomes?

Software development is an on-going process. To ensure that the changes made do not break previous functionality, a regression test suite is maintained along with the source code. The correctness and the side effects of code changes are judged based on the output of the tests. However, are these tests’ outcomes always correct? Does a test failure imply a bug and do all tests passing imply a bug...

When Can We Test Less?1

When it is impractical to rigorously assess all parts of complex systems, test engineers use defect detectors to focus their limited resources. In this article, we define some properties of an ideal defect detector and assess different methods of generating one. In the case study presented here, traditional methods of generating such detectors (e.g. reusing detectors from the literature, linear...

How can we enhance the value of laboratory tests?

Today, the pressures on the healthcare systems for the controlling of the costs are extreme and all sectors try to demonstrate the value of their services by justifying the activities and expenditures so the value can be describe in terms like quality, efficiency, effectiveness, patient satisfaction, cost effectiveness .The value of the lab testing is generally directed to their costs and the c...
