Introduction
We have been having elaborate discussions on Talk and PM Calls to zero in on the best possible testing methodology that can be adopted to test Platform 2.0 Beta. Here is the broad outline of how we plan to proceed :
RefApp based Testing
In the field, the Platform will always be used with Reference Application running on top of it. Therefore, a major portion of User Acceptance Testing currently involves running Reference Application tests on top of Platform 2.0 Beta.
REST endpoint testing
Platform 2.0 offers a completely REST'ful architecture to interact with the core services. This REST-ful architecture is realized by the FHIR module and the REST-WS module. Although unit-tests in these modules confirm that the controller methods behave as expected but in order to exercise the end-to-end scenario based integration testing for the platform's REST API, we plan to manually hit these endpoints on uat-paltform.openmrs.org and ensure they behave appropriately.
How to help test Platform 2.0 Beta
We are utilizing Zephyr for JIRA. It is recommended that you watch this 15 min video to become a Zephyr expert!! \m/
We have created 2 Zephyr Test-Cycles; one for RefApp based testing and other for REST endpoint testing. The details on how to contribute to each is descibed in the sections below
Steps to contribute to "RefApp based Testing"
- If you haven't already, watch this 15 min video to get used to Zephyr
- Click on an un-executed test (Column name : Issue Key )from Test Cycle named : Platform 2.0 Beta and OpenMRS 2.4-SNAPSHOT Functional Tests
- Burke Mamlin has prepared a Google Sheet that enlists these Tests in a decreasing priority order. Feel free to pick up the high priority one's from the top of the list.
- This should open up the Test Case page which should look like
- Scroll down to the Test Execution Section and click the E button on the rightmost end of the row containing Test Cycle value as Platform 2.0 Beta and OpenMRS 2.4-SNAPSHOT Functional Tests
- Open up the execution environment i.e uat-platform.openmrs.org/openmrs in a new tab/window
- Follow steps 5 and 6 described by the QA team on How to execute a Test Case
