Reduce migration timelines by over 40% and ensure no data is compromised
You’re operating in highly regulated environments, where compliance and a high standard of care are paramount.Don’t sacrifice that standard due to poor testing.
Opkey provides tried-and-tested automation solutions that guarantee excellence in testing coverage.
A healthy IT ecosystem is the bedrock of a functioning healthcare environment, whether you are a hospital system, pharmaceutical manufacturer, or healthcare provider. Patient data and quality of care must be protected at all costs; downtime is simply not an option. This holds true as digital systems become more complex than ever, with constantly changing integrations, functionalities, and requirements. How can your organization remain agile and up-to-date, while holding true to your core tenets of excellence and stability?
The answer lies in Testing.
Automated testing is the bulwark of system security in the modern age. Our revolutionary testing technology allows for healthcare providers to cut testing times by 80%. Updates that used to take weeks can now take days with a visual, No-Code UI that any employee can use.
Northwell Health is New York’s largest health system, with over 81,000 employees. Northwell struggled to automate testing for its dozens of packaged and custom applications, including Oracle. They turned to Opkey for help. Our end-to-end testing capabilities provided automation for nearly all of their testing needs. The results?
Northwell saved $1.2 million on testing costs, shaved 2 months off of an Oracle migration, and standardized testing across multiple apps.

Are these misconceptions holding you back from taking the leap into test automation? Let's examine the truth behind the false assumptions.
The most effective tools for testing healthcare applications are those that prioritize security, compliance, data integrity, and cross-platform compatibility while supporting complex, end-to-end workflows.
The ideal solution should provide:
Uncompromised Security and Compliance Validation
Healthcare apps handle sensitive Protected Health Information (PHI), making compliance (e.g., HIPAA) non-negotiable.
Security Testing Integration: The platform must support or seamlessly integrate with security testing tools to check for vulnerabilities, data leakage, and authentication flaws that violate regulatory standards.
Access Control Validation: Tools must rigorously test role-based access control (RBAC) to ensure that clinicians, patients, and administrators only access data and features they are authorized for, directly testing against compliance mandates.
Data Masking/Synthetic Data: The solution should facilitate the use of masked or synthetic test data in non-production environments to avoid exposing real PHI during testing.
Complex Workflow and Interoperability Testing
Healthcare apps manage intricate patient journeys and often communicate with various backend systems (EHR/EMR, billing, labs).
End-to-End Clinical Scenario Testing: The tool must easily automate complex, multi-step clinical workflows.
API and Interoperability Testing: Given the need for systems to exchange data via standards like HL7 or FHIR, the platform must offer robust API testing capabilities to validate fast, accurate, and secure data exchange between the application and Electronic Health Records (EHR) or other medical devices.
AI-Driven and Low-Maintenance Automation
To keep up with rapid development and regulatory changes, the testing platform must be highly efficient.
No-Code Automation: A no-code approach enables clinical subject matter experts (SMEs) to create and maintain tests based on their understanding of patient care processes, increasing coverage and accuracy.
AI-Powered Maintenance: The tool should use AI for self-healing test scripts and change impact analysis, significantly reducing the maintenance overhead caused by frequent app updates and new feature rollouts.
The selection of testing and evaluation tools should always be driven by the unique risk profile, regulatory mandates, and operational characteristics of a specific industry. Key considerations while selecting tool for specific industry:
Financial Services & Banking
Security & Compliance: Dedicated security testing integration (e.g., vulnerability scanners) and API testing to validate secure data transfer (encryption, authentication).
System Integrity: Tools must handle complex transactional workflows (wire transfers, loan processing) and integrate seamlessly with legacy core banking systems.
E-Commerce & Retail
Cross-Platform/Device: Cloud-based devices and browser labs to ensure seamless shopping experiences across all mobile devices, operating systems, and browsers.
End-to-End Flow: No-code functional automation for quickly verifying the entire "Click-to-Cash" process: Search àAdd to Cart à Payment Gateway à Order Confirmation.
Manufacturing & Industrial IoT
System Reliability: Specialized tools for Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing and simulation platforms to validate firmware and control logic (PLC/SCADA) without risking physical hardware.
Communication Protocols: Tools capable of testing industrial communication protocols (Modbus, OPC-UA, MQTT) to ensure reliable, real-time data exchange between sensors, controllers, and the cloud.
