Analytical Testing

Beyond code quality checks.

Miqa does more than verify if your NGS data analysis code runs correctly. It provides in-depth interpretation and reporting of test results and application-specific evaluation metrics, tailored to the needs of bioinformatic developers and scientific researchers.

Output Evaluation Methods

A variety of data-driven test types to assess software accuracy, reproducibility & robustness.

Sanity Check

Basic validation to ensure pipeline runs to completion successfully with expected file number, format and size.

Output Consistency Check

Verify that identical inputs consistently produce identical results for reproducibility.

Accuracy Test

Ensure that updates don’t introduce errors by comparing outputs to previous pipeline versions.

NGS Stats Comparison

Compare summary statistics of NGS data across test runs using built-in or custom processing tools like FastQC and samtools-stats.

Regression Test

Confirms that software updates or code changes do not break existing features by comparing new outputs with previously validated results.

Longitudinal Quality Tracking

Monitor output quality over time & quickly pinpoint the version or change associated with any unexpected results or errors.

Parameter Optimization

Compare analysis results under different parameter sets. Fine tune your analysis to achieve the best performance and accuracy across datasets.

Multi-Tool Benchmarking

Compare different software or pipeline performance on the same data to identify the best option for your use case.

Custom Tests

Create tests tailored to specific project needs, data types, or workflows, ensuring the software meets specialized requirements.

Set-Up Once & Test Continuously.

Define your QA metrics and thresholds in your tests and Miqa will give you a pass/fail/warning flag for each metric upon a test execution.

Simply one click to create a test chain or test block to run future tests automatically and reproducibly.
