Tests

Due to the fact that this statistic uses the same module to calculate the SDS-values  as the one just tested, the same bugs  could certainly be found again, but they will be ignored here now. 

The rest of this statistic was pretty much the dream of a database: Get the values of ``normal'' people dependent on their age and sex, and compare them to the values of the actual patient. Hence, a boundary value analysis  and a volume test  were done unsuccessfully.   

During the tests of this statistic, an undocumented part was found. The share of women taking the pill is also calculated here, even though is it not mentioned in the manualgif. Nevertheless, this computed information was still tested and a last bug  could be found. If the according field (med_pille in the table verlauf) is filled out at least once in a certain period of time, but the latest field in that period is left blank, this patient is ignored for this statistic.
