Manual Tests
From OpenEMR Project Wiki
Objective
High-quality manual test cases need to be built up and maintained moving forward. A group of testers can run through them before releases are shipped and developers can also use them as a point of reference/sanity check when doing the big codebase refactor project.
Test Suites
- Facility Registration
- Patient Demographics
- Patient Scheduling
- Electronic Medical Records
- Prescriptions
- Medical Billing
- Clinical Decision Rules
- Patient Portal
- Reports
- Multilanguage Support
- Security
Test Development
The tests will be built up in the following fork (for now): https://github.com/MatthewVita/openemr. There is a top-level "Manual_Tests" folder that contains folders for each test suite. Individual test cases are to be placed in these folders (e.x.: /openemr/Manual_Tests/Electronic_Medical_Records/Medications_Test_Case.md).
Philosophy & Approach
- Keep tests elegant and within appropriate boundaries.
- Test cases should cover realistic happy paths and negative paths.
- It is acceptable to have the tester query the database when the UI can't satisfy an assertion.
- Each test case is simply a markdown table with columns "Step Number", "Description", and "Expectation".
- Assume that the tester that runs the test is familiar with the system and terms.
