What is Testing?

Roles and Responsibilities

  • Testing Coordinators
    • Epic application coordinator(s), and your chosen testing coordinator(s)
    • Responsible for setting direction, providing tools, tracking progress, and managing the testing phase of the project
  • Application Teams
    • Responsible for conducting the actual testing - running test scripts, tracking defects, and resolving defects

What is testing?

What will we be tested?

  • Not a typical software testing approach
  • Goal of testing is to test build and workflows

Types of Testing

Application Testing

  • Application specific
  • Designed to ensure that each application's build is functioning as intended
  • Focus is on resolving build issues that will impact your primary workflows

Types of Testing

Integrated Testing

  • Focuses on complete end to end workflows (Ex. Emergency to Radiology to Inpatient)
  • Includes interfaces and third party applications 
  • Designed to test touch points between applications

Types of Testing

Functional, mapped record, and PRCT

  • Unit Testing
    • Test interface build and functionality
    • Ensure interfaces are operational and functioning as expected for representative cases
  • Mapped Record Testing
    • Completely test record build to ensure it works properly with interfaces
    • Often tested using utilities to test many records at once
    • Involves third party validation of output
  • PRCT Testing
    • Bulk test charging build and validate precision and accuracy of charges

process

Application Testing

  • Testing will begin before build is 100% "complete"
  • Test - Fix - Test methodology
  • Must be completed and passed before integrated testing begins
  • Use Sherlock to track defects and issues

process

Integrated Testing

  • Pass Criteria
    • Script should Pass twice to be considered Passed
    • Script must have no actual defects to pass
    • Cosmetic defects vs. Actual defects
  • Execution Methodology
    • Hold integrated testing sessions during which everyone is together
    • Handoff mechanism
    • Test - Fix - Test Cycle Methodology

process

unit, mapped record, and charge testing

  • Begin unit testing during application build
  • Conduct mapped record testing at once
  • Live fix test methodology
