Patient Management Demo

A deterministic WPF patient-management application for developing and exercising Windows UI automation. It uses synthetic in-memory data and restores the same state on every process start.

Prerequisites

• Windows 10 or later
• .NET SDK 10.0.302 or a compatible .NET 10 patch selected by global.json
• An unlocked interactive desktop for UI automation tests

No database, network service, account, or real patient data is required.

Build And Run

dotnet restore PatientManagementDemo.slnx
dotnet build PatientManagementDemo.slnx --no-restore
dotnet run --project src\PatientManagementDemo\PatientManagementDemo.csproj --no-build

Test

Run deterministic unit and presentation-state tests:

dotnet test tests\PatientManagementDemo.Tests\PatientManagementDemo.Tests.csproj --no-restore

Run native Windows UI Automation tests from an unlocked interactive desktop:

dotnet test tests\PatientManagementDemo.UiTests\PatientManagementDemo.UiTests.csproj --no-restore

Run the complete suite:

dotnet test PatientManagementDemo.slnx --no-restore

UI tests launch and stop a new application process per scenario. They synchronize on automation properties and status changes rather than fixed sleeps.

Deterministic Behavior

Each process starts with these synthetic records, sorted by Patient ID:

Patient ID	First name	Last name	Date of birth
PM-1001	Avery	Chen	1984-02-29
PM-1002	Jordan	Patel	1992-07-15
PM-1003	Morgan	Rivera	2001-11-03

• Search uses all populated fields with AND semantics.
• Patient ID search is exact and case-insensitive.
• Name search is a case-insensitive substring match.
• Blank search criteria return all patients.
• Add, Update, Search, and confirmed Delete expose a 300 ms busy state.
• Data exists only for the current process; restarting restores the seed set.

See requirements analysis, clarification defaults, execution plan, and automation contract for the full behavioral baseline.

Scope

This is a test fixture, not a production or regulated medical application. Authentication, authorization, durable persistence, audit history, clinical integrations, localization, packaging, and real patient data are intentionally excluded.
