Using the Test Discrepancy Database

From the Definition menu, select Test a Study, then select Discrepancy Database to view discrepancies created on test data.

Any discrepancies resulting from entering test data or running Procedures in test mode are entered in the Test Discrepancy Database. Unlike production mode, each time you run a test, the previous discrepancy data for that test is erased in the Test Discrepancy Database.

Oracle Clinical provides a duplicate set of data tables, called a Test Database, for the purpose of testing Data Entry windows, data extract views, Procedures, and DCFs. Whenever you do anything in test mode (using any menu path with the word "test"), Oracle Clinical points your account to the test tables, so you cannot corrupt the data in the production database. Oracle Clinical populates the test tables with a few dummy sites, Investigators, and patients, each of which contains "dummy" in its name. You may need to add more test data.

Note:

When you create test data, we suggest you follow a naming convention that is easily distinguishable from production data, such as including the word "test" or the letter "T", so that any reports you generate are easily identifiable as test reports.
