When Software Quality
Is Patient Safety
Healthcare software has unique obligations: accessibility for patients with disabilities, HIPAA compliance for data handling, and zero tolerance for bugs that could affect clinical decisions. NexusQA provides automated accessibility scanning, HIPAA-compatible data handling, and mandatory human sign-off on every autonomous fix.
Healthcare-Grade Quality Assurance
The Problem
WCAG accessibility mandates are non-negotiable for patient-facing applications
NexusQA Solution
axe-core scans every page for WCAG 2.1 AA compliance: semantic HTML, ARIA attributes, keyboard navigation, contrast ratios (4.5:1 minimum), screen reader compatibility, and focus management. Violations are stored per-test-run with remediation guidance.
The Problem
HIPAA requires strict data handling — test data cannot contain PHI
NexusQA Solution
NexusQA processes test data within your organization-scoped environment. Row Level Security on all database tables ensures tenant isolation. The tester portal annotation tools include a Gaussian blur tool specifically designed for PII redaction in screenshots.
The Problem
Bugs in healthcare software can have patient safety implications
NexusQA Solution
The 7-stage remediation pipeline prevents untested fixes from reaching production. Stage 4 (Opus 4.6 Plan Review Gate) validates that fixes do not introduce new risks. Stage 7 requires human QA sign-off before any auto-merge. No autonomous changes without human approval.
The Problem
Accessibility regression testing is manual and inconsistent
NexusQA Solution
Accessibility testing runs automatically on every PR via the qa_accessibility_audit skill. Results include WCAG violation type, affected element, impact level, and remediation suggestion. Accessibility violations are tracked in the quality scorecard alongside functional metrics.
The Problem
Multi-device testing for patient portals is time-consuming
NexusQA Solution
Playwright tests run across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit simultaneously at multiple viewports. Visual diff testing catches layout regressions on mobile, tablet, and desktop. rrweb session recording captures exact user flows for replay.
WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance, Automated
The accessibility testing paradigm scans for: semantic HTML structure, ARIA role and state attributes, keyboard navigation paths, color contrast ratios (minimum 4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text), screen reader compatibility, focus indicator visibility, and form label associations. Violations are categorized by impact (critical, serious, moderate, minor) and linked to specific WCAG success criteria for clear remediation guidance.
Quality Assurance for Patient-Critical Software
Accessibility + security + human sign-off. Enterprise tier recommended.
