It is possible that you might find certain functionalities missing in the new modular version due to the fact that your implementation might have done some country specific changes to the software that were not contributed back to the openIMIS initiative. The openIMIS initiative has developed the new modular version as a reflection of the legacy version that they maintained in the past years, so in case country developments were not shared back with the Initiative these changes might not be part of the new modular version. For example, if an additional field with some additional checks was added to the page which captures data of each individual in the legacy version of a country implementation and this was not indicated to the openIMIS initiative, then it will most likely not be present in the current modular version but would need to be re-done in the modular version. Therefore, implementers should be in contact with developers to communicate these needs to make sure that once the migration is complete, the future releases of the new modular version carry this their country specific functionality so its available to the implementer you as well other users. The following sub-steps should be followed:
Go through all the processes of your scheme and identify gaps or developments that need to be done. you find missing
Clearly communicate these to the Initiative developers through the openIMIS Service Desk
Ask your programmers to share the source code (if not already done) of your used version of openIMIS including any country specific changes that might have been undertaken to the Initiative developers . Check the developments once completed through Github
Discuss and identify with the openIMIS Initiative developers
Step 4: User testing
In order to validate the functioning of the new version and developments, a round of user testing should be undertaken. The test cases for the modular version can be found here: User interface test - openIMIS - Confluence (atlassian.net. However, based on the country customizations, some test cases may need adaptations.
