LAST PHASE OF OCTOBER
The last phase of the month encapsulated many learning areas in my journey;
- I got an opportunity to go through the workshop that was conducted by @achachiez from @AMPATH and was focusing on Form-Builder tool;
-
understanding the form features
-
creating a form using formbuilder
-
translating a medical form orders form into an Ampath form
The beauty with the form generated by the tool is that one is able to create a custom one and was interesting to play around with the tool and generated a customized form.
It was a nice experience learning from the attendees who were 8 in number coming from different back ground. I realized there is a lot to learn in the field of technology and being a good developer, one must be open and willing to learn from others.
- I and @sharif had a chance to interact with a quality assurance specialist for one of the organisations which uses OpenMRS platform to develop health Information systems distributing them in various hospitals and clinics. As per the conversation on this talk post the organisation wishes to tap on the benefits of automated testing to achieve quality for their products before sent into production and currently we are looking into how we can provide the necessary support to them.
I also believe other organisations implementing OpenMRS platform in developing health care systems would be glad to tap on the benefits of automated testing for their product and am looking in how best we can support such implementations in regard to automated testing. cc: @grace

Integrated Heroku into qaframework but realized limitations with the tool in terms of pricing and rather opted to reach out to community for guidance on getting a Suitable tool for auto-deployment of application on github

It was interesting to see one of the automated tests known as Clinical Visit Test catching a bug in Platform 2.5.0 which is under construction. cc: @tendomart

Attended Mentor Office Hours which has enhanced my communication skills in general. Thanks to @jennifer for organizing these calls every Wednesday at 6:00 pm(EAT) that are helping those who attend to improve their communication skills.
-
Provided technical support to squad members and ensuring our CI is ever green. Thanks to @dkayiwa @ibacher who are ever present whenever we need assistance from them. I also want to acknowledge the great work from my colleague @sharif in supporting other squad members and also adding more test workflows to our module, of recent he migrated all the pages that were residing in distro-referenceapplication and now they got citizenship in qaframework module. Just few days ago he added Report Workflow Test which is now running in master!
During November I will be focusing more on how best our implementers can tap on the benefits of automating their products and also make survey with different implementers of OpenMRS systems to see how best we can support them to better end user experience using their products.
A word of thanks to @grace @jennifer @janflowers @dkayiwa @ibacher @mozzy @mksd @christine for your endless support which has been a key element in growing my skills both technical and non-technical ones in open source development!
