Health Documentation: Internal Information and Processes

Types of Internal Information

Internal information includes data contained within documents generated by a health center during its operations. We can distinguish two main types:

  • Information on Logistics: This includes data in documents discussing the general operation of the facility (warehouse, accounting, etc.). These documents are managed by the Administrative Archives.
  • Information Relating to Patient Care: This includes data in clinical and administrative documents related to direct patient care

Software Testing Techniques: White-Box, Model-Based, and More

Question 1: White-Box Testing

What is a key characteristic of white-box test techniques?

Answer: (b) They are used both to measure coverage and to design tests to increase coverage.

Question 3: Model-Based Testing

What is Model-Based Testing?

Model-Based Testing (MBT) is a software testing approach where test cases are derived from a model representing the system’s behavior, requirements, or processes.

Question 4: Pairwise & Neighborhood Integration

Pairwise Integration:

  • A testing technique where

V-Model SDLC: Verification and Validation in Software Development

Understanding the V-Model in SDLC

The V-model is a type of SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) model where the process executes in a sequential manner, forming a V-shape. It is also known as the Verification and Validation model. This model is based on the association of a testing phase for each corresponding development stage. Each development step is directly associated with a testing phase. The next phase starts only after the completion of the previous phase; for each development activity,

Functional Decomposition Diagrams & Software Verification

Functional Decomposition Diagrams (DDF)

Techniques to represent the decomposition of the functions of a system.

Its purpose is to represent the hierarchy of system processes at different levels of abstraction. It decomposes a high-level function into low-level functions.

They are used to represent other information such as company structure.

Types of DDF

  • Functions of the system at different levels of abstraction but without considering the flows between them.
  • The functions and input and output data
  • Functions

Understanding Use Cases in Software Engineering

In software engineering, a use case is a technique for capturing potential requirements of a new system or a software update. Each use case provides one or more scenarios that show how the system should interact with the user or another system to achieve a specific goal.

Types of Use Cases

Brief Use Case

A few paragraphs of prose that usually only include the main stage for success.

Casual Use Case

Several paragraphs that contain several scenarios, but by no means all in detail.

  • Name
  • Main Stage, written

Software Quality Assurance: Concepts and Techniques

Understanding Errors in Software Development

An error is a fault in a program that causes unexpected behavior or failure. Errors stem from incorrect logic, invalid input, hardware failures, or software bugs.

Types of Errors

  1. Syntax Errors – Violate language rules, preventing execution.

    Example:

    print("Hello, World"  # Missing parenthesis
    

    Fix: Follow correct syntax.

  2. Logical Errors – Code runs but gives incorrect output.

    Example:

    def add(a, b):
        return a - b  # Wrong logic
    

    Fix: Debug logic carefully.
