Ensuring software reliability
Our QA and testing teams work closely with the development team to ensure that software is reliable, stable, and performs as expected.
We perform both manual and automated testing, covering functional testing, performance testing, security testing, and more.
This step of the software development process is crucial for risk management.
Thorough testing & QA services
Our testing & QA services include:
Functional Testing
Verify the software functions according to specified requirements by checking all user interactions and system operations.
Non-Functional or Performance Testing
Assess the software’s speed, scalability, and stability under different loads to identify potential bottlenecks and ensure it can handle expected user traffic.
Security Testing
Identify vulnerabilities and ensure the software is protected against potential threats through security code reviews.
Manual and Automated Testing
Utilize both manual testing methods for detailed exploratory testing and automated testing methods to improve testing efficiency, accuracy, and speed by automating repetitive and time-consuming manual testing tasks.
Comprehensive QA Process
✔ Creating Test Cases: Outline steps and conditions for testing each functionality to ensure comprehensive coverage.
✔ Developing Test Plans: Define the scope, approach, resources, and schedule of testing activities for a structured process.
✔ Writing Test Scripts: Automate the majority of repetitive test cases for quick and accurate execution of large volumes of tests. This not only saves time and effort but also reduces the chances of human errors that might occur during manual testing.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What are software testing and quality assurance services?
Software testing verifies that a system behaves as expected and identifies defects before release. Quality assurance (QA) is broader and focuses on the processes and practices used to prevent defects and maintain software quality.
For regulated software, testing and QA also provide documented evidence for verification, validation, traceability, and regulatory activities.
Can you test software developed by our in-house team or another vendor?
Yes. BioSistemika frequently works with software developed by our clients or third-party vendors. As an independent testing partner, we can identify defects, usability issues, performance bottlenecks, and compliance risks before release.
Independent testing provides an objective assessment of software quality and helps reduce the risk of costly issues later in the development lifecycle.
What types of software testing do you perform?
Our testing services are tailored to each project and may include functional, integration, system, regression, performance, usability, and compatibility testing – depending on the software and associated risks. For regulated software, we also support verification activities, traceability, and documentation needed for validation.
We combine automated and manual testing to achieve the right balance between efficiency, coverage, and expert evaluation.
Is independent software testing mandatory?
Not always. Whether independent testing is required depends on the type of software, its intended use, and the applicable regulatory requirements.
However, even when it is not explicitly required, independent testing can provide valuable additional assurance by identifying defects, edge cases, usability issues, and compliance risks that the development team may overlook.
Do you use automated testing?
Yes. We use automated testing whenever it provides clear value, particularly for repetitive, regression, and integration testing.
However, automation does not replace manual testing. Exploratory testing, usability evaluation, and many domain-specific scenarios still require experienced QA engineers who understand both software development and laboratory or medical workflows.
Our goal is to apply the right combination of automated and manual testing for each project.
We already have developers. Why do we need an independent testing team?
Developers are responsible for building software, while testers focus on finding issues before users or auditors do. Even experienced developers can overlook defects because they know how the software is intended to work. Independent testers approach the software from a different perspective, evaluating functionality, usability, edge cases, and compliance against the requirements.
For regulated software, independent testing also provides additional confidence that the software is ready for validation, audits, and release.
What is Computer System Validation (CSV)?
Computer System Validation (CSV) is a documented process used to demonstrate that a computerized system consistently performs as intended and is suitable for its intended use in a regulated environment.
CSV typically involves defining requirements, assessing risks, planning and executing appropriate testing, documenting results, and maintaining traceability. The exact validation approach depends on the system, its intended use, associated risks, and applicable regulatory requirements.
What is Computer Software Assurance (CSA), and how is it different from CSV?
Computer Software Assurance (CSA) is the FDA’s risk-based approach to establishing confidence in software used in production or quality systems. It emphasizes critical thinking and testing based on risk rather than producing documentation for its own sake.
Compared with traditional Computer System Validation (CSV) approaches, CSA focuses more strongly on intended use, patient and product risk, appropriate assurance activities, and objective evidence. The goal is not to eliminate documentation, but to make software assurance more efficient and risk-based.
