instance of OpenMRS

I see no harm in adding a "test" property on person.  How would that be used by 
the app?  The user would have to specific if/when they are wanting to exclude 
the test patients. (e.g. have to specify which reporting queries or patient 
searches are not just tests)

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
