How testing works in Cymetryc
In Cymetryc, a testing project is called an event. An upgrade, a new instrument, an EHR release or a patch can each be an event, and you can have as many in flight as you need. Every event moves through the same cycle: plan, manage, execute, monitor, approve and document. Then repeat for the next one.
A testing project, such as an upgrade, a new system or a patch. Keep as many open side by side as you need; each follows the same cycle.
A logical grouping of test cases, for example by type of testing, so hundreds or thousands of test cases stay organized and easy to assign.
The steps a tester follows, with instructions and expected outcomes. US teams tend to say test case and UK teams test script; they mean the same thing.
Feature tour
Follow one event from the first test case to the final report. Jump to any stage with the menu below.
01 · Plan · Orchestrate
Every event starts with knowing what needs to be tested. Test cases live in a central repository so you can reuse them event after event, and test plans group them into logical sets that make sense for your testing.
TestGenisys builds customized test cases from your source-of-truth documents, such as build specifications, configuration and vendor data collection worksheets
Upstream and downstream activities can be included, so your portfolio covers the workflow end to end
Already have test cases you like in Excel or Word? We bring them into Cymetryc during onboarding at no extra charge
Build testing templates with import wizards or copy and paste, then deploy them across events and sites

02 · Manage · Orchestrate
Set scope and resources at the start. Assign test cases to one person or to several, where whoever gets there first picks it up, and assign reviewers and approvers at the same time. When the environment is ready, switch the event into execution and everyone is notified by email.
Reassign test cases in a few clicks when someone is out unexpectedly, so progress keeps moving
The execution planner turns your dates, working days and contingency into a weekly target
Track variance week by week, so you and your vendor know early whether go-live is on track
Approvers can be notified as testing completes, not at the very end
More about Execution Planning →
03 · Execute · Verify
Verify is a testing guide that sits beside whatever application is being tested. The people testing are usually subject matter experts doing it alongside their day jobs, so interruptions are a given. Verify shows the instructions and expected outcome for every step and keeps their place.
Screen capture, clipboard images, timed captures, attachments and notes, all in context
Required screenshots: a step can't be passed until the evidence is captured
Annotate or redact screenshots, and apply one screenshot to several test cases at once
Store key data, like an order or specimen number, that follows the test case from step to step
Pass, fail or skip each step, and the dashboards update as testers work
Why a desktop app? Capturing screens of other applications from a browser isn't good security practice, so test execution happens in Verify. Verify stores no data locally; everything else in Cymetryc is in the cloud.
04 · Execute · Issue tracking
When something looks wrong, testers raise an issue from the failed step in a few clicks. Every piece of evidence captured so far is attached automatically, and they get straight back to testing.
Severity and status, plus type and system fields you define per event, for triage
Assign, discuss and track each issue to resolution, with the full history kept
Link the vendor's ticket number and URL, and share a direct link to the issue
Whoever fixes it sees the failed step, its screenshots and every step before it
Marked ready for testing, the test case goes back to the tester for retest
05 · Monitor
Dashboards update as testers work, so project managers and stakeholders can see where testing stands, who is doing what and what is holding things up, without chasing anyone for an update.
Completion, pass and fail counts, assignments and workload at a glance
Burndown, plus a two-week activity feed of who did what, searchable by keyword
Issue dashboards show what's unresolved, who has it and where the bottlenecks are
A review dashboard tracks approvals alongside testing
Event activity, issue management and user login reports whenever you need them
06 · Approve · Cymetryc Approve
Approvers get an email when testing is ready for them, follow the link and see everything the tester saw and captured. Review happens alongside testing instead of being crammed in at the end, when approvers have the least time to apply their expertise.
Just a browser: a laptop, a home PC or a tablet, with no desktop app
See the instructions, each step, the captured data and every screenshot
Approve or reject step by step, by expected outcome, or the whole test case at once
Return for rework with comments, or raise an issue the tester missed
Multiple approval levels, such as a supervisor first and then the medical director
Approver training is a video of under 15 minutes
07 · Document · Cymetryc Proof
Cymetryc is self-documenting. Everything captured along the way flows into standardized reports, so every facility and team produces the same documentation regardless of application, and no one spends weeks assembling it.
Detail report: cover page with your organization's name, table of contents, steps, expected outcomes, embedded screenshots and issues
Who tested and approved what, and when, including rejections and rework
Summary report: the event roll-up across every test plan, with an optional sign-off page
Delivered as Word (docx) so you can zoom into screenshots, search, lock and file them in your QMS
Designed for FDA, CAP, CLIA and Joint Commission requirements in the US and UKAS in the UK

Questions we hear
No. Your subject matter experts do the testing. Cymetryc guides them through each step, captures their evidence and keeps everything connected and traceable, from the first test case to the final report.
No. Cymetryc is for software validation: the verification, validation and user acceptance testing of the applications your teams rely on. Analytical studies such as method comparisons and linearity are a different discipline.
Any application, from any vendor, whether it's client-server or cloud. Teams use it for EHRs and EPRs, LIS and LIMS, middleware, instruments, billing and business systems, and for new implementations, upgrades, patches and change logs.
Yes. If your test cases are in Excel or Word, we bring them into Cymetryc during onboarding at no extra charge. If you're starting fresh, TestGenisys can generate test cases from your build documents and vendor worksheets.
Testers use the Verify desktop app to execute tests and capture screenshots. Everyone else, including project managers, approvers and stakeholders, just needs a web browser.
Very little. Approver training is a video of under 15 minutes that they can rewatch any time.
In your quality management system. Cymetryc produces detail and summary reports in Word, which you download, lock and file in your QMS.
No. Testing should use synthetic test data, and the only personal information Cymetryc stores is the name and email address of each user. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and each customer has a dedicated database.
