Test Case Fixtures

The Fixture Namespace is used to manage test case fixtures, or sample records, used in test cases. The Fixture Manager is used to install sample records into the database, or return sample records to it's caller. The FixtureManager sources data from JSON datafiles within the fixture namespace.

The FixtureManager currently supports the following record types:

• Patient Data
• FHIR Patient Resources

To support additional record types within FixtureManager:

• Add a supporting json file to the Fixture Namespace which maps to an OpenEMR database table.
• Add public methods to the class to get, install, and remove fixture records.
