Automated Testing Limitations

TrialGrid Automated Testing supports the majority of Medidata Rave Edit Checks but with some limitations.

Rave EDC (RaveX) Support

Automated Testing does not currently support role-switching for iMedidata/Rave EDC users. When providing iMedidata user credentials for Rave EDC roles (e.g. a user for the Investigator role) the user provided should not have multiple roles in the same study. It is recommended to create users specifically for Automated Testing.

When testing against Rave EDC (RaveX) it is possible that intermittent errors will occur. TrialGrid will attempt to retry a number of times but will sometimes fail to execute a test case because of known Rave EDC (RaveX) errors. If the Test Case is re-run it will probably succeed.

Test Case Generation Limitations

  • Test steps are not generated for Custom Function steps and actions.

  • Test data values are not generated for Dynamic Search Lists.

  • Test cases are not generated for Logical Record Position Edit Checks.

  • Test cases are not generated for Edit Checks using the IsNonConformant or InLocalLabRange step functions.

Test Case Limitations

  • Test data cannot be entered for a Field with a Unit Dictionary if no Unit is specified. This is a limitation of Rave Web Services.
