Test data

for information on test plans for CCMDB.accdb

Sometimes we need to send patients to test the system.

Making up and sending test data

Because we apply many cross checks to data that is being sent it is usually easiest to start out with a "good" record, ie a patient that was already sent.

• download a CCMDB_data.mdb from backup
• pick a sent patient
• delete all other patients
• change that send patient's Pat_ID to 1000000 (ie much higher than what we're at)
• set the patient to "complete"
• wait for the Designated sending times or contact Pagasa to see if you can have a special sending time for testing purposes
• send
• let Pagasa know to delete the record you sent as test data

Cleaning up of Test Data

If you have sent test data, either clean it out or let Pagasa know it is there. See Category:Data Repository.

Variables to use for Test Data

To facilitate the identification and deletion of test patients from our various data repositories during data processing,

• always start patient first and last name with an "X"
• use a serial number < 10
• use HSC_TEST in the Location field
