Testing Instructions
Tips & Tricks
Browser Container Extensions
Managing multiple test accounts in the same browser can be tedious. Container extensions let you keep separate login sessions simultaneously, making it much easier to test multi-user workflows.
Firefox: Multi-Account Containers
How to use:
- Install the container extension
- Create separate containers for each test account (e.g., "Admin", "Provider", "Client")
- When you need to test an interaction between different users, open new tabs in their respective containers
- Each container maintains its own separate login session
Email Alias Trick
You can create multiple accounts using the same email inbox by leveraging the + addressing feature (also called email subaddressing). Any email provider supporting this feature (Gmail, Outlook, etc.) will treat these as unique addresses while routing all messages to your inbox.
Example:
- Admin account:
admin@matchpalmedical.com - Client account:
admin+client@matchpalmedical.com - User account:
admin+user@matchpalmedical.com
All three accounts exist as separate entities in the system, but verification emails and password resets for all three will arrive in the same inbox. This eliminates the need to manage multiple email addresses while testing workflows that require different user roles interacting with each other.
