Everyone heard about the term cloud computing, but what is cloud computing? In brief, Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage and computing power, without direct active management by the user.    

Cloud-based technology platforms deliver huge benefits, but they also demand new methods for procurement, governance, management and integration. Used properly, these technologies can enable new digital business models and uplift organizational agility and innovation.

Cloud software can offer you incredible flexibility, allowing you to rapidly adapt your systems to support your current business circumstances. When you subscribe to various cloud services, you only need to sign up for the functions you require, and you can increase or decrease your use - and your spend - according to the demands of your business.

Among all the sectors in Australia, Aged care; In the most crucial pivot, with lack of funding and governance is the most neglected sector. What’s its future? Will it still be traditional and old system? The world is changing after the pandemic. Workplaces are adopting the agile system, why not aged care?

The Australian Government is returning to the time frame of 1 July 2024, put forward by the royal commission, to deliver a reformed and improved in-home aged care program. After carrying out a range of consultation and research to inform the reform of in-home aged care. Lots of feedback were collected from older Australian and Aged care sector is now being reviewed. Some of the consultation include, Research testing the new home care program design with older Australians and their carers, peak body organisations and home care providers and a Living Lab Trial to test a new aged care assessment model.

Reform to in-home aged care should simplify current arrangements for older Australians by consolidating assessment arrangements and programs that are currently cumbersome for older Australians to navigate.  the services should represent value for money for government and older Australians, Aged care expenditure over time should be predictable and fiscally sustainable.

How does System Testing work?

Software testing is the process of assessing and confirming that a software application or product performs as intended. Software testing has advantages such as bug prevention, lower development costs, and better performance.

Few would contest the necessity of quality control when creating software. A brand's reputation can be harmed by late deliveries or software flaws, which can result in dissatisfied and lost customers. In extreme circumstances, a bug or flaw can harm connected systems or lead to significant problems.

While software testing, an important evaluation is validating the fundamental requirements. Exploratory testing is crucial in assisting a tester or testing team in identifying challenging scenarios and circumstances that may result in software errors.

A simple application might be put through a lot of different tests. Given the time and resources at hand, a test management plan aids in prioritising which testing types are most valuable.  By using the fewest possible tests to identify the greatest possible number of flaws, testing efficiency is maximised.

Software Testing challenges that affect businesses:

• Lack of tools to create tests.
• There are too many manual test cases and not enough time in the timetable.
• Failure to get adequate test automation coverage
• Advanced scenarios are challenging to automate, and doing so is frequently quite expensive for enterprises.
• requirements for applications are frequently changed
• Justifying testing inside the organisation (by demonstrating value and ROI and generating enough funding)
• Recognizing product specifications and user stories

Why is Software Testing important?

Early software testing reveals issues prior to a product's launch. The sooner test feedback is received by development teams, the sooner they can fix problems like:

• Faulty design choices
• Architecture errors
• Functionality that is invalid
• Flaws in the security
• Scalability issues

When testing is given enough room throughout development, software reliability increases and high-quality programmes are produced with little defects. A system that satisfies or even surpasses customer expectations may increase sales and market share.
