Edinburgh,2020年9月10日。Expleo, the technology partner for innovative companies, today announces details of its pivotal role in ensuring the successful launch and rollout of the NHS Scotland’s COVID-19 contact-tracing app, Protect Scotland, after contributing to similar successful projects in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

立即启动的应用程序向用户通知用户与Covid-19的某人密切联系,定义密切联系作为在确认案例的两米范围内15分钟或更长时间的人。

Considered to be one of the sophisticated tools for controlling the spread of coronavirus, ensuring the Protect Scotland app can be relied upon to withstand high levels of interaction is imperative.

Expleo, which is known for its advanced expertise in testing, was responsible for ensuring this. Having already carried out 5000 hours of quality and software testing on the Irish apps, the company completed another 1500 hours of work on Protect Scotland, to ensure it could be used at scale and handle the anticipated level of download activity from users.

还进行了测试,以确保它为苏格兰公众提供用户友好,快速可靠。这包括对具有驾驶困难,学习障碍或视障或听力受损的人进行可访问性测试。

The quality checks included:

  • Performance Engineering – Expleo’s quality assurance and quality engineering teams carried out performance testing on the app to ensure that large volumes of people could operate it at the same time without causing it to crash.

  • Exposure Notification Distance Testing – As devices have varying Bluetooth strengths, Expleo tested varying Bluetooth LE attenuation values to ensure compliance with requirements.
  • 用户体验(UX)测试——Expleotested the look and feel of the app, ensuring user-friendly navigation and that all content and functionality met user needs.

保护苏格兰是第三次联系跟踪应用程序Expleo在交付方面一直至关重要,也是爱尔兰共和国和北爱尔兰共和国联络追踪应用程序的测试合作伙伴,这两个夏天都会成功推出。
