Demo AUT
 https://demo.openmrs.org/openmrs/login.htm

®
Scenario: Merge Patient
 We use local instance (REST enabled)
 Our URL http://openmrs.demo/openmrs-standalone/

®
®

®
APIs
 REST API (OpenMRS)
 Create Patient
 SOAP API (Spira v5)
 Create Incident

®
Master Plan
 Analyze
 Try
 Plan
 Implement

®
API Master Plan
 For each API (REST, SOAP) do:
 Analyze
 Try
 Plan
 Implement

®
Analyze: REST
 Find reference docs
https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/REST+Web+Services+API
+For+Clients
 Find info about Authorization
https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/REST+Web+Services+API
+For+Clients#RESTWebServicesAPIForClients-Authentication
 Find samples
https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Create+Patient
 Find entry points

®
Try: REST
 Try it right from Rapise
 Choose appropriate API version (latest is not always best)

®
Plan: REST
 Find a sequence
 Define parameters
 Define outputs

®
Implement: REST
 Use Record & Verify
 Generate Script
 Define JS parameters

®
SOAP
 Similar to REST
 Except WSDL
 URL https://dev-eu.spiraservice.net/

®
Analyze: SOAP
 Find WSDL Entry point
 Find info about
Authorization

®
Try: SOAP
 Try it right from Rapise
 Choose best entry point

®
Plan: SOAP
 Find a sequence
 Define parameters
 Define outputs

®
Implement: SOAP
 Use Record & Verify
 Generate Script
 Define JS paremeters

®
Wrap Up: Four Steps
Analyze
 API Entry Point
 Authorization
Try
 Call individual entry points
Plan
Define a sequence
Implement
Record steps
Tune Parameters, Headers, Credntials
Tune Link output parameters

®
Complete Example
 openmrs testing framework
 Uses SubTests, utils and bricks
 Uses shared objects
 Has scenario S03MergePatient implemented and placeholder of
other scenarios (S03)
 You may configure it to work with your spira and to use different
patient name.

Next Webinar
 Data-Driven Testing
 The power of UI test automation is in capability to execute the
same steps with different input data. Join us to learn the basic
techniques of data-driven UI testing. Besides theoretical info we
are going to show examples using real applications. Presenter:
