Simulation of procedures in a diagnostic laboratory

The aim of the project is to develop a software, which is able to test the IT infrastructure of a laboratory prior to the set-up of the laboratory in the real world. Thus the software allows a cost-efficient test environment. Thereby potential issues are discovered at an early stage leading to enhanced long-term customer satisfaction. The simulation software is referencing against customer LIS and maps the behavior of the instruments in use virtually on a high level. Special attention is paid to the crucial functionality of the information exchange with the server and the processing of virtual samples. Moreover, the software provides various performance data (system performance, message response times), which were recorded during single runs, for subsequent analysis. Last but not least, reconfiguration of laboratory scenarios can be easily achieved via XML data exchange or via the Oracle access interface.
