Test-Link is a QA platform that we use to perform the test cases: https://qa.openimis.org/index.php
OpenIMIS demo server to use for the testing: https://release.openimis.org/
Below is a step-by step of how to set up and execute the tests. Note that step 1-5 is only needed if you need to set up the test cases from scratch. If you have been provided login details and assigned a testing plan, you can go straight to step 6.
Setting up test cases
Step 1: click on the link above and login with the credentials provided to you.

Step 5: go to “builds/releases”. In order to start executing the tests, you need to create a “build” for each test plan, which is a sort of batch. This is generally characterized by when you are testing or for which release e.g. naming it “April release 2021”. You are now ready to start executing the test cases.

Step 7: Scroll down on the left hand side, to the test case folder and select the one you want to start withfolders (with the folder icons). The first row should be “openIMIS initiative”. The next rows will depend on which test plan you have chosen. To open the sub-folders click on the small arrow next to the folder icon. You will see that next to each folder there are four numbers. In grey are the tests not yet run, in green those passed, in red those failed and in blue those blocked. This will help you keep track of how many tests you have completed within this folder.
Step 8: Expand all sub folder until you arrive to the first test case. The individual test cases are labelled with “OCT” for example “OCT-78). Click on the test case you want to start with. On the right hand side, a display opens up for that particular test case. This might take a few moments to load. Each test case has a certain number of “step actions” that must be completed to assess if the test is passed, failed or blocked. At each step .
Step 9: Scroll down to where the step actions begin. If there are any preconditions to the test, this will be described in the “preconditions” section. Once you have completed the first step action, update the “execution status” on the right hand side. You can also add comments and attached files such as screenshots. Do this for all step actions until you arrive at the bottom of the page.

Step 10: Once you arrive at the bottom of the page, enter the time it took you to complete the test next to the hourglass symbol. If you would like to report an issue that occurred during the execution of that test, tick the box next to the bug symbol. Another box will appear at the bottom of the page where you can describe the issue. Tick both boxes so that a link is added in the issue tracker to the test execution feature and print view.
Step 11: Once everything is completed for that test case, select the symbol that applies (passed, failed,

blocked) and move to the next case. The test cases that has just been executed will now appear highlighted with its respective status color on the left hand side in the test case folder section.
