Find out how Sii Poland used Tricentis Tosca to build a healthcare client\u2019s new AI system"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Sii experts supported one of the world\u2019s largest biotechnology companies by building a solution that replaces a business-critical pharmacovigilance system. By introducing test automation with Tricentis Tosca, Sii was able to reduce the company\u2019s costs and time spent on testing the new solution.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sii\u2019s biotech client is running an innovation program that aims to build a solution based on artificial intelligence. The program will enable a highly automated, end-to-end process for the&nbsp;identification, characterization, and reporting&nbsp;for drug adverse events by applying cognitive computing and advanced analytics.<\/p>\n<p>This complex undertaking includes&nbsp;three major applications delivered by external vendors, as well as custom developed platforms for the purpose&nbsp;of integration, reconciliation, and aggregate monitoring. The program uses a variety of technologies like Snowflake, PostgreSQL, API, ETL, MuleSoft, Spotfire, Tableau, AI, and LP. Applications within the program scope deal with patient personal data, and directly impact customer core business continuity as well as regulations established by the relevant health authorities.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>How to automate in a GxP governed business<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>The client needed to introduce test automation at the early stages of the project to reduce costs and time spent on testing the solution. But the introduction of test automation is not so simple in a highly regulated GxP environment. The biotech company reached out to Sii for help because of its testing experience and expertise. Sii is the leading IT, engineering, and BPO professional service provider.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing that needed to be addressed was the client\u2019s extensive technology landscape and variety of systems that required integration. An automation solution should have:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Both front and back-end testing capabilities<\/li>\n<li>The ability to increase automation speed and lower maintenance effort<\/li>\n<li>The ability to cover the management of sensitive test data<\/li>\n<li>An easy way to scale up testing and run testing in parallel across distributed infrastructures and virtual machines<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Secondly, the solution should deliver robust end-to-end automated testing for validated products that comply to pharma regulations. This step requires developing a wide range of documents and procedures including defining user requirements (URS), associated risk assessments (SRA, FRA), architecture, installation configuration, and verification. All of the mentioned deliverables must be compliant with internal operating procedures as well as overall industry standards.<\/p>\n<p>During the planning phase, Sii experts assessed several test automation solutions including an enterprise testing tool and a custom opensource tool based on Robot Framework and Python. Sii\u2019s architects supported this assessment and delivered a detailed solutions analysis and several technical proof of values to the client.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, Sii selected Tricentis Tosca to cover the test automation of the biotech client\u2019s program. Tosca satisfies all of the testing requirements and supports the versatile underlying technologies on an enterprise level with outstanding ROI.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Why Tricentis Tosca?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Tricentis is a global leader in enterprise continuous testing.
