The primary objective of this guide is to assist you in effectively navigating Android fork or standard application, as well as provide detailed, step-by-step instructions for performing basic web-based configurations that can be tested within the application itself. By following this guide, you will gain the ability to configure and set up all the essential items required for successful testing.
It is important to note that the configurations that will be shown here are of a basic nature. To test the feedback module, a specific guide has been created for this purpose. To access the specific guide, click here.
PSI Android Fork testing should be conducted on an Android v.6+ device. Do not attempt to conduct this testing via your web browser. We do not recommend testing on Android emulators as some functions may give false negatives during testing.
Testing concepts
In the testing field, some concepts and standards are necessary to conduct comprehensive testing. At a minimum, this includes:
Test case: a test case is a detailed set of conditions developed to verify the functionality of a specific feature.
Pre-conditions: specific criteria that must be met to execute the test case.
Expected result: expected behavior when executing a specific action or input in a system, application or process
What servers and users to use
Server | Description | Credentials to be used |
---|---|---|
The server is a copy of the production environment, which is copied nightly and overwritten every day. It is the perfect environment for testing because configuration changes will last for one day. | Use the same real-life community, workers, providers, supervisor. Just change the password. If the account doesn’t work, request account activation via | |
This server is a stable copy of the production environment, which is copied approximately every 2–3 months | The accounts on this server are different from those on the production server. If you don't have a user account, please request one by clicking on the following link. https://helppsi.freshdesk.com/es/support/home |
Do not use production server - you don't want to mess the data in production.
Recommendation:
The android app is not optimized for accounts with extensive access to numerous programs and datasets, resulting in prolonged login times when using the DHIS2 Android application. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid assigning an excessive number of programs to a single user, as this may significantly impact performance and efficiency
Testing Programs
In DHIS2, you have the ability to define customized programs comprising various stages. These programs play a crucial role in the "tracker" functionality, enabling you to thoroughly track individual records. DHIS2 offers two types of programs that you can create:
Tracker program: A program to record a single event without registration.
Event program: A program to record single or multiple events with registration.
Verify that the event programs assigned to the user are loaded correctly
Pre-conditions:
1 | Log in to the selected server using a user account that has the necessary permissions to create a program |

Expected results: This program rule enables you to hide or show a designated question or section based on a condition of your choice. Once the specified condition is met, the question or section will be promptly and accurately displayed.
Testing data sets
Data entry in DHIS2 is effectively organized using data sets. A data set serves as a collection of data elements grouped together for streamlined data collection. In distributed installations, data sets also define portions of data for seamless export and import between different instances of DHIS2. For example, data can be transferred from a local installation at a district office to a national server. Data sets are not directly linked to the data values themselves, but rather through their associated data elements and frequencies. As a result, modifications, deletions, or additions to a data set can be made at any time without impacting the raw data already captured in the system. However, it is important to note that such changes will naturally affect the process of collecting new data.
Once you have assigned a data set to an organisation unit, that data set will be made available in Data Entry for the organisation units you have assigned it to and for the valid periods according to the data set's period type.
Verify that the data sets assigned to the user are loaded correctly
