17 Test Mode

This chapter describes Oracle Clinical's Test mode, which is a reduced set of features for testing a study's design and some data definitions. It is a scaled-down version of some Production mode functionality. Test mode is separate from production mode, so it is unsuitable for validating an installation or system functions. This chapter includes the following topics:

Note:

For a new database installation, implementing Test mode requires these preliminary tasks:

• The Global Librarian should create the domain INSTALL_TEST to hold objects for testing purposes. (See Using Domains within the Global Library for more information.)

• Manually enforce the constraint that two domains cannot reference each other, and that only STANDARD objects can be available for production work.
