The Microfrontends Team has created a new Reference Application, the “3.0 RefApp”, which represents the future of OpenMRS. It features a modern Microfrontend architecture and replaces the previous “2.x RefApp”. Students who excel in the end-to-end (E2E) testing of this project may also have the opportunity to contribute to the frontend widget and feature development for 3.0. This is because E2E testing will familiarize them with the 3.0 codebase and there is a high demand for feature development.

Detailed Project Report
Introduction
The OpenMRS 3.0 RefApp is a pivotal platform in healthcare technology, designed to streamline patient care and medical record management. The importance of robust E2E testing in healthcare applications cannot be understated. These tests simulate real user interactions, covering the entire application flow, to validate its functionality and performance.
Objectives
The primary objectives of the project were as follows:
Setting Up Repositories: This involved setting up the
openmrs-esm-patient-chartandopenmrs-esm-corerepositories to facilitate testing.Creating E2E Tests: The project aimed to create a suite of E2E tests for various components within the
openmrs-esm-patient-chartrepository. These included functionalities like "Allergies," "Vitals," "Biometrics," "Programs," "Conditions," "Medication," and "Notes."Integration and Documentation: The E2E tests needed to be seamlessly integrated into the Continuous Integration (CI) pipeline to ensure regular testing. Additionally, thorough documentation of the testing process and results was a vital component.
Accomplishments
Repositories Setup: Both the
openmrs-esm-patient-chartandopenmrs-esm-corerepositories were successfully configured, providing the foundation for testing.E2E Tests Implementation: A suite of E2E tests was developed for the key functionalities specified in the project objectives. These tests accurately replicated user interactions and workflows.
CI Integration: The E2E tests were seamlessly integrated into the CI pipeline, enabling automated testing during each code change.
Documentation: Comprehensive documentation was created to guide contributors in using and understanding the E2E testing suite.
Challenges Faced
GitHub Actions Issues: Initially, there were issues with GitHub actions, causing a delay in PRs. The problem was identified and resolved in collaboration with the OpenMRS community.
Data Test IDs: Implementing data test IDs for testing purposes proved to be more challenging than anticipated due to some unexpected behavior.
Dev Server Failures: Temporary failures of the development server disrupted the testing workflow, requiring quick troubleshooting.
Test Failures: After merging PRs, some test failures occurred due to incorrectly located locators within the E2E tests. This necessitated debugging and adjustment.
Learning and Growth
The challenges presented numerous learning opportunities, enhancing skills in troubleshooting, collaboration, and problem-solving. The project provided hands-on experience with TypeScript, Playwright, and E2E testing methodologies.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the project "Extending E2E Automated Tests for OpenMRS 3.0 RefApp" has been a fulfilling journey of growth and learning. The accomplishments achieved, challenges overcome, and skills acquired during this project have not only contributed to the RefApp's reliability but have also enriched the developer's expertise. The OpenMRS community's guidance and collaboration have been instrumental in making this project a success.
