The openIMIS community organises user accptance tests (UAT) as part of the six-monthly Release Cycle . The knowledge hubs are reaching out to partner organisations and voluntary testers to assign them to specific testcases. These are defined on a specific testing platform under TestLink , where the results of each test cycle are also recorded. Detected issues are immedeatly sent to the ​Service Desk for bug-fixing.

It’s easy to join the testing activities - and it’s a great learning experience to get to know openIMIS. Just send an email to contact@openimis.org, if you want to be part of the regular release UATs.

The UAT will focuses on the core enhancements introduced in the new release, specifically:

• Enhanced User Interface (UI): Validating the new navigation patterns and dashboard accessibility.

• Core Workflows: End-to-end testing of enrollment, claims processing, and payment modules.

• Mobile Readiness: Assessing performance and data entry efficiency on mobile devices (crucial for field-based students).

• Modular Interoperability: Ensuring seamless data exchange between new and existing modules as per the latest technical documentation.

We are looking for testers who can provide objective feedback and identify potential roadblocks before the global rollout.

• Who can join: Students (Public Health, IT, or Development), administrative staff, and current openIMIS users.

• Time Commitment: Approximately 4 to 6 hours total, which can be completed asynchronously during the testing window.

• Technical Requirements: Access to a computer or smartphone and a stable internet connection. No prior coding knowledge is required.

• Key Responsibilities:

  • Execute predefined test scenarios.

  • Report bugs and UI/UX friction points via the [Atlassian/Jira] portal.

  • Participate in a brief feedback survey at the end of the process.
