Platform 2.4.0 REST and FHIR2-endpoint testing

Introduction

Platform 2.4 will come bundled with REST-WS module and FHIR2 module. Before making the final release, we intend to run end to end tests for the REST endpoints defined in both the modules. Testing of FHIR2 endpoints was done by: and we are left with testing of REST-WS module's endpoints. This wiki describes the process we are following to test the REST-WS endpoints.

For REST-WS module we are using this google sheet(https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vrVYIjVZqxzS2FHmD63KGV2wqvpJN-x-k77atS6TtIM/edit#gid=0 ) to log testing activities. Later, data from the sheet will be used to develop an automated rest endpoint testing system and we will deprecate the manual testing of rest endpoints for future releases. We are only proceeding with the manual testing due to time constraints and absence of an established end to end rest-endpoint testing system for platform releases.=

For the FHIR2 module we are using this google sheet( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pBXcf-hlxbpRqJKFsys1WgC9f26-c9v7yrszWoKVczY/edit#gid=0  ) to log testing activities
