As a managed service provider in the statutory health insurance IT market, BITMARCK is driving digitalization in the industry and for its customers with innovative products, solutions and services. The basis for this is the statutory health insurance software standard BITMARCK_21c|ng, which is used by the affiliated health insurance companies. The group's customers are the company and guild health insurance funds as well as DAK-Gesundheit and other substitute health insurance funds - more than 30,000 employees and around 25 million SHI policyholders benefit from BITMARCK's IT services, and more than 80 percent of German statutory health insurance funds are customers of the group. With around 1,800 employees, BITMARCK achieves an annual turnover of 393 million euros.
BITMARCK Software GmbH was faced with the challenging task of ensuring the consistent quality and stability of the core system BITMARCK_21c|ng of its complex software solution for social insurance. In particular, this included comprehensive regression tests in the SHI software standard BITMARCK_21c|ng for various client architectures.
Both the web client and the swing client had to be secured with an extensive test set. The management and optimization of 4,500 currently running regression tests across these different client types, as well as the planned expansion to mobile platforms, required a future-oriented and flexible test automation solution.
To overcome these challenges, BITMARCK Software GmbH decided to use QF-Test, one of the leading tools for the automation of GUI tests. In close partnership with the manufacturer of QF-Test BITMARCK Software GmbH developed an innovative multi-client recorder. This recorder was specially designed to optimally support test automation in the BITMARCK_21c|ng core system for both the web client and the swing client. The multi-client recorder enables highly efficient and precise recording and maintenance of the 4,500 regression tests currently running across all relevant client types. By combining QF-Test and this customized recorder, BITMARCK Software GmbH achieved a new dimension in test automation.
BITMARCK Software GmbH is continuously expanding test automation with QF-Test. Test coverage with the intuitive recorder is currently being extended to iOS and Android apps. QFS has already made great progress in the iOS area, which makes mobile test automation with QF-Test particularly promising. As a next step, BITMARCK is aiming to expand end-to-end testing between the native apps (iOS and Android) and the GKV software standard BITMARCK_21c|ng in order to comprehensively ensure the end-to-end functionality and interaction of all components.
The successful cooperation with QFS and the continuous further development of test automation with QF-Test underline the claim of BITMARCK Software GmbH to continue to set the highest quality standards in software development in the future and to actively shape the digital transformation of statutory health insurance.
The cooperation between BITMARCK Software GmbH and QFS is characterized by a close and solution-oriented partnership that enables BITMARCK Software GmbH to efficiently master even complex test automation challenges. When problems arise, BITMARCK Software GmbH benefits from the fast and competent support of QFS, which contributes significantly to finding solutions.
