Abstract: The processes and management of healthcare records are not trivial exercise; there is need for application of ICT to healthcare management system in order to meet globally accepted health care systems. Many healthcare systems have been designed and implemented, but they do not adequately incorporate nursing process. Also, most of them do not consider the needs and aspirations of patients. In this work, a modified framework based on Orlando’s nursing process focuses on improvement in the patient’s behavior by actions that are based on a patient’s needs found through effective interaction with the patient was designed and proto type implemented. The design was implemented using Visual Basic.Net and SQL because of their supports for implementing web-based systems. The system was hosted on a website for a period of two months. Real life data in respect of medical practitioners’ and patients were captured, analyzed and evaluated. Users interacted with the hosted system during the evaluation period. The system was evaluated using usability test and structured questionnaire. The result showed 93.10% participation efficiency, while ease of use, operational efficiency and data protection of Healthcare Information system scored more than 80%.This showed that the Healthcare Information Systems (HIS) is an effective life saving system that can influence and enhance health-workers’ quality of services, timely precision decision making process and reduced cost of health care significantly through effective healthcare management. It is applicable in any healthcare environment irrespective of their social economic and technology settings. The application of the framework will prevents the spread of deadly diseases like Ebola Virus.

Abstract: Software engineering is a systematic approach defined as a science of industrial engineering that measures the practical methods and working process of the software engineers. This approach is based on analyzing, designing, assessment implementing testing and reengineering processes of given software All those phases are very important and have a specific role in SE’s cycle, especially software testing that acts as a significant element in this cycle and it represents also a fundamental key for software quality assurance. Software testing has as goal to test the software performance by measuring the gap between the expected behavior of the software under test and the test results. This comparison allows the tester to analyze errors and bugs in order to fix them and develop the software performance. As a critical factor in SQA, software testing is considered like a definitive review of the tool’s specification: it permits the tester to redesign the tool specification after the test in case of failure. This procedure is also applied on web applications, in similar ways to obtain the same goal: applications quality assurance, but the web applications are more complicated to be tested because of the interaction of the application with the rest of the distributed system. In fact, in more precisely terms, web application testing is a process that measures the functional and non functional proprieties of a given web application to analyze its performance in order to fix errors or even to reach a better level of the application under test. The demand on web applications or generally on software testing tools groups up with the increase in applications or software failures and cost.
