Brief update

The release process started last week with the creation of the Release Candidate 1 and a full round of testing. This testing found 2 blocker bugs that we being worked on today (and may already be complete) and we are also using the time to fix a couple of smaller minor bugs that we found. We are planning creating RC2 tomorrow and retesting the affected services with hopes of being ready to pass RC2 on to Malawi and Angola for their testing later this week.

Meeting Notes: 

Parambir: Has there been any testing done with a larger number of data (performance testing)?
Wes: Yes - Performance Metrics

Simon: Is this server side or client side testing?
Sebastian: We are testing from the end-user perspective

Post-3.6 Feature Priorities

Wesley Brown (15 min)

Feature Discussion: https://forum.openlmis.org/t/potential-post-v3-6-features/5028

Feedback from Discussions with SolDevelo in Poland:

  • Batch Approval - Refining the existing feature. Ability to select and process multiple requisitions. Add ability to select more than 10 requisitions (at least 80), also need to reduce the amount of data transmitted

  • Offline for Stock Mgmt - Stock management does not currently support offline functionality, this would include determining what to support and how.

    • Will the simple approach used for Requisitions work for Stock Management?

    • This will likely require a deeper discussion to properly design
  • Demo-data - Need better data for demoing the system, currently contains a lot of automatically generated data. Would likely split the dataset into demo data and testing/performance data

  • Admin screen wizards - Configuration UI to help with the setup or update of OpenLMIS. Areas that might be improved include facility and product configuration

    • Perhaps something like 'OLMIS doctor' (a la 'brew doctor') - OLMIS-5124 - Getting issue details... STATUS (Ashraf +1, Christine +1)
  • Administrative messages - System-level messages to users (discussed in the last PC: PC: April 9 2019)

  • Tracing specific products (Tracer Products)

  • Cost summary in stock mgmt - Small UI change to show the overall cost summary for various stock changes

  • Update/versioning of orderables (Sebastian +1, Ashraf +1) - Ability to update the product

  • Product Aliases - Allow searching for a product by unofficial (local) names
  • Stock Management Performance (with Angola team) - There is a lot of low-hanging fruit here! Will have to identify which screens to focus on and create a plan for addressing all of the known performance issues

Action Items:

Transitioning the Product Committee

  • Wes asks members what they find valuable (or not) to restructure going forward.
