Real-time communications over the web offers infinite possibilities for the healthcare industry and its many related segments. With its ability to work right in the browser and its strong security measures and encrypted data transmission, WebRTC is excellent for telehealth.

Just like software development, software testing has its own life cycle with specific objectives and deliverables. Our expert testing team combines your application’s success criteria with our best practices in building live video apps to come up with an efficient test plan that delivers efficient, high value testing.
