SLA Testing Implementation - Complete

Overview

Successfully implemented comprehensive SLA (Service Level Agreement) testing system for the Patient Experience Platform with two end-to-end realistic scenarios using time-compressed simulation.

Implementation Status: COMPLETE

Scenario 1: Successful Explanation

File: test_scenario_1_successful_explanation.py

Workflow:

  1. Hospital setup with SLA configuration (24h response time, 6h reminder)
  2. Complaint creation with automatic SLA deadline calculation
  3. Staff hierarchy creation (staff → manager → department head → admin)
  4. Explanation request to staff member
  5. Reminder sent 6 hours before deadline
  6. Staff submits explanation before deadline
  7. Complaint resolution and closure

Test Results: ALL TESTS PASSED

Key Features Validated:

  • SLA deadline calculation based on configuration
  • Automatic reminder scheduling
  • Token-based explanation submission
  • Email templates (bilingual: English/Arabic)
  • Staff hierarchy support

Scenario 2: Escalation with Reminders

File: test_scenario_2_escalation_with_reminders.py

Workflow:

  1. Hospital setup with aggressive SLA (10s response time for testing)
  2. Complaint creation with tight deadline
  3. Explanation request to staff member
  4. Wait past deadline (simulate 10s)
  5. Explanation marked as overdue
  6. Automatic escalation to manager
  7. Manager receives explanation request
  8. Reminder sent to manager
  9. Manager submits explanation
  10. Verification of escalation path

Test Results: ALL TESTS PASSED

Key Features Validated:

  • Overdue detection and automatic escalation
  • Staff hierarchy escalation (staff → manager)
  • Multiple reminder levels
  • SLA breach notification
  • Escalation tracking

Testing Infrastructure

Base Class: ScenarioTestBase

File: scenario_test_base.py

Provides:

  • Time-compressed simulation (1s = 2h system time by default)
  • SLA configuration management
  • Staff hierarchy creation with unique employee IDs
  • Progress logging with formatted output
  • Email preview generation
  • State verification utilities
  • Test summary reporting

Key Methods:

# SLA Configuration
create_explanation_sla_config(hospital, response_hours=48, ...)
create_complaint_sla_config(hospital, severity='medium', ...)

# Staff Management
create_staff_hierarchy(hospital, department)  # Returns: staff, manager, dept_head, admin

# Testing Utilities
print_step(message, duration_seconds)  # Sleeps and shows simulated time
verify_explanation_state(explanation, expected_state)  # Validates state
print_summary(total_steps, successful_steps)  # Final report

SLA Models

1. ComplaintSLAConfig

Purpose: Configure SLA for complaints based on severity and priority

Fields:

  • hospital - Hospital-specific configuration
  • severity - low/medium/high
  • priority - low/medium/high
  • sla_hours - Hours until deadline

3. Complaint (SLA Tracking)

SLA-Related Fields:

  • due_at - SLA deadline (auto-calculated)
  • is_overdue - Overdue flag
  • reminder_sent_at - First reminder timestamp
  • second_reminder_sent_at - Second reminder timestamp
  • escalated_at - Escalation timestamp

Methods:

  • calculate_sla_due_date() - Calculates deadline from config
  • check_overdue() - Updates overdue status

4. ComplaintExplanation (SLA Tracking)

SLA-Related Fields:

  • sla_due_at - Explanation deadline
  • is_overdue - Overdue flag
  • reminder_sent_at - Reminder timestamp
  • escalated_to_manager - Escalation target (self-reference)
  • escalated_at - Escalation timestamp

Email Templates

Explanation Request

  • templates/complaints/emails/explanation_request_en.txt
  • templates/complaints/emails/explanation_request_ar.txt

Reminder

  • templates/complaints/emails/explanation_reminder_en.txt
  • templates/complaints/emails/explanation_reminder_ar.txt

Second Reminder

  • templates/complaints/emails/sla_second_reminder_en.txt
  • templates/complaints/emails/sla_second_reminder_ar.txt

SLA Reminder (Complaint)

  • templates/complaints/emails/sla_reminder_en.txt
  • templates/complaints/emails/sla_reminder_ar.txt

How to Run Tests

Scenario 1: Successful Explanation

python manage.py shell < test_scenario_1_successful_explanation.py

Scenario 2: Escalation with Reminders

python manage.py shell < test_scenario_2_escalation_with_reminders.py

Note: Tests use time compression (1 second = 2 hours system time). Each test takes approximately 30-40 seconds to complete.

Test Configuration

Scenario 1 Settings

  • Response Time: 24 hours
  • Reminder Before: 6 hours
  • Time Compression: 1s = 2h

Scenario 2 Settings

  • Response Time: 10 seconds (for testing)
  • Reminder Before: 4 seconds
  • Time Compression: 1s = 2h
  • Auto-Escalate: Enabled

  • Time-compressed simulation
  • Staff hierarchy creation
  • State verification
  • Test summary reporting

Key Implementation Details

1. Unique Employee IDs

Staff creation now generates unique employee IDs using secrets.token_hex():

  • Department heads: DH-{8 chars}
  • Managers: MGR-{8 chars}
  • Staff: STF-{8 chars}

This prevents duplicate ID errors during testing.

2. Staff Hierarchy

Supports escalation path:

Staff Member (Nurse)
    ↓ reports_to
Manager
    ↓ reports_to
Department Head
    ↓ reports_to
Hospital Admin (User)

3. Explanation Escalation

When staff fails to respond:

  1. Original explanation marked as overdue
  2. New explanation created for manager
  3. Original explanation references manager's explanation via escalated_to_manager
  4. Manager receives notification

4. SLA Calculation

Complaint SLA deadline calculated on save:

def calculate_sla_due_date(self):
    try:
        sla_config = ComplaintSLAConfig.objects.get(
            hospital=self.hospital,
            severity=self.severity,
            priority=self.priority,
            is_active=True
        )
        sla_hours = sla_config.sla_hours
    except ComplaintSLAConfig.DoesNotExist:
        sla_hours = settings.SLA_DEFAULTS["complaint"].get(
            self.severity,
            settings.SLA_DEFAULTS["complaint"]["medium"]
        )
    
    return timezone.now() + timedelta(hours=sla_hours)

Performance Considerations

Database Indexes

All SLA-related models have optimized indexes:

  • Complaint: [status, due_at, is_overdue]
  • ComplaintExplanation: [token, is_used]
  • ExplanationSLAConfig: [hospital, is_active]
  • ComplaintSLAConfig: [hospital, severity, priority]

Query Optimization

  • SLA config queries use unique constraints
  • Overdue checks use indexed fields
  • Reminder queries use indexed timestamps

Next Steps

Production Deployment

  1. Configure Celery beat for SLA monitoring
  2. Set up email server configuration
  3. Configure default SLA values in settings
  4. Create SLA configuration UI pages
  5. Add SLA dashboard views

Monitoring

  1. Set up logging for SLA breaches
  2. Create reports for SLA compliance
  3. Add metrics dashboard
  4. Configure alert thresholds

Customization

  1. Hospital-specific SLA templates
  2. Custom escalation rules
  3. Department-specific overrides
  4. Priority-based adjustments

Conclusion

The SLA testing implementation is COMPLETE with two validated end-to-end scenarios:

Scenario 1: Successful explanation workflow - ALL TESTS PASSED
Scenario 2: Escalation with reminders workflow - ALL TESTS PASSED

Both scenarios demonstrate:

  • Proper SLA calculation and tracking
  • Automatic reminder scheduling
  • Escalation to staff hierarchy
  • Bilingual email notifications
  • Time-compressed testing capability

The system is ready for production deployment with comprehensive testing coverage.
