Fighting COVID-19 with MIT Safe Paths and Crowd Testing — feat. Todd DeCapua
A rapid call to action for testers to help build MIT's Safe Paths COVID-19 contact-tracing app.
Todd DeCapua and Jonathan Wright record an urgent intro about MIT's Safe Paths, a mobile app that uses GPS and Bluetooth location data to help people trace exposure and self-isolate during the COVID-19 pandemic. They discuss capturing realistic movement data across trains, buses and the underground, anonymizing sensitive locations via geofencing, and using GPX logs. Jonathan draws on his Copenhagen smart-city project, where they synthesized five billion historical transactions from reference data to train algorithms and avoid false positives. The episode is a crowd-testing call to action inviting testers, developers and UX designers to volunteer via coronavirus.fo and the covidsafepaths Slack.
**In this episode:**
- Test Data Management
- Mobile Testing
- Performance Testing
- Mentoring & Community
- Security Testing
- Observability
**Guest:** Todd DeCapua — Technology Evangelist
**Host:** Jonathon Wright — *The Automation Cyborg*
> “You'll be helping save lives because... part of it is the information that's used there we can use to help prevent the infection growing. And I think that's really important that you can make a real difference.”
🎧 *Subscribe to The QA Lead on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Google Podcasts for conversations on software testing, QA, test automation and the future of quality engineering.*
