> We can test this **beta release** using the [qa-refapp server](https://qa-refapp.openmrs.org/openmrs/login.htm) aswell since it has been updated to run against **platform 2.6.0-beta**.
> 
> FYI, we can utilize the automated tests that were written to test this prerelease. To do this locally, follow the steps below broken down from [QA Framework: Technical documentation (Cucumber-Selenium & Cucumber-Cypress Set up) - Documentation - OpenMRS Wiki](https://wiki.openmrs.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=235277297)

@mherman22 we can take advantage of github actions since it’s configured to run the tests in a docker environment that consumes a [local host](https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-contrib-qaframework/blob/master/qaframework-bdd-tests/src/test/resources/org/openmrs/uitestframework/test-local.properties#L1) server which uses an updated image of [qa-refapp](https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-contrib-qaframework/blob/26438438e61fd25067f52e43655790593c6bd5be/docker/docker-compose-refqa.yml#L18).

So one can run these automated tests directly via [github actions](https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-contrib-qaframework/actions) by triggering a manual run and a reliable [test-report](https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-contrib-qaframework/actions/runs/4081946278/jobs/7035791123#step:7:13772) is provided after the build plan. This requires a privilege if one is to run them directly on our upstream repo however, those without privilege can run them on their updated forks.
