There is a pending ticket in the reporting module (REPORT-143 - Add
option to exclude Test/Fake Patients from running queries/reports
<https://tickets.openmrs.org/browse/REPORT-143>) for supporting this in
the reporting module.
The planned design is to allow for a saved cohort definition to
represent the cohort of test patients (this allows for test patients to
be defined as a given implementation wants). Then, the reporting module
would exclude these patients from any query / report that it produces.
That being said, I wouldn't be at all opposed to some sort of "test"
column on the person table...

This has come up before. While I can imagine a module trying to make
test patients behave as if they're voided, we should probably make
this a core feature (marking persons/patients as test). As Ada points
out, a person attribute can serve very well as a way of tagging test
patients for exclusion from reports.

AMPATH creates a person_attribute_type of test patient. Whenever
we create new test patients, we tick the test patient
person_attribute_type on the dashboard. When it’s time to
generate reports or prepare datasets for research studies, we can
exclude those test patients easily.

*Subject:* [OPENMRS-IMPLEMENTERS] Labeling patients as test in a
production instance of OpenMRS
Hi,
Is there a way to have test patients in a production version of
OpenMRS that allows them not to be counted in statistics e.g. some
kind of label?
The idea is that in a production server you can have a handful of
test patients and a test form so that when people start to learn
it they can use those.
Thanks,
Joaquín
