DRAFT - Attila has suggested that we created a checklist of steps for MQ to help them be self-sufficient. The following is a draft list that needs to be add-to and/or modified to be a complete set of steps and accurate.
The following steps outline the process for registering your system, completing the test cases, submitting your results and receiving your testing report.
- Register your system here. The Gazelle Self-Testing Guide provides details about how to register your system and how to perform testing in Gazelle.
- For additional registration and account setup tips, refer to How to Create Your Account in Gazelle.pdf.
- During registration, you will select the integration profiles that you wish to test (e.g., CA:FeX, CA:Sec, CA:Aud, IUA, etc.)
- Learn about what is being tested on the Test Cases page, which includes details and information videos about the Profiles.
- Learn how to use the Tools available for testing on the Test Tools and Training page.
- If you will be performing IUA testing, please follow these instructions IUA Registration Form and Instructions and if applicable to you, fill in the form and submit it to [email protected].
- Complete this questionnaire CA:Aud_Events_Questionnaire.xlsx and submit it to [email protected].
- Perform No-Peer Testing here. Once you are logged in, please ensure that you are operating in the Pan-Canadian Conformance 2024 testing session. If you are not, please switch your session using the Switch button, located in the Title Bar.
- Refer to the Gazelle Self-Testing Guide for details about how to execute the test cases.
- Refer to the Test Data section below for a sample PS-CA Clinical Data Set in support of testing the content of your FHIR document.
- Upon testing completion, collect the list of successful test cases and submit them for verification to Infoway, providing a contact email with test case links.
- Infoway will verify successful completion and issue a conformance test report for your system listing all tested profiles and the results. The report will be emailed to the email account you identified as your contact.
- You may present the conformance test report to your jurisdictional team.
Test Data
The following table provides the clinical data sets for testing the PS-CA. (Note that the current data sets and JSON sample file are in support of PS-CA v1.0.0 and updates for PS-CA v1.1.0 are coming soon.)
Clinical Data Sets | Description | Sample(s) |
|---|---|---|
PS-CA-Clinical Data Set (Excel) Updated on: February 9, 2023 | A clinical data set that represents the required information using the correct data types and valuesets, where specific valuesets are defined as Required in the PS-CA. |
TIPS:
In preparation for the 2023 Projectathon, a number of webinars were hosted. If this is your first time using Gazelle or the other tools, you may find this content helpful. Please keep in mind there will be specific references to the 2023 Projectathon that no longer apply.
- A Registration Webinar was held which explains how to register. You may find recording is available here and the presentation deck is available here: Projectathon Registration Webinar vFinal.pdf.
- A Tools & Testing Webinar was held. The recording is available here and the presentation deck is available here: Projectathon Pre-PAT Webinar vFinal.pdf
Attila's original list:
- Register your system in the Gazelle platform – Conformance domain (as opposed to Projectathon 2023)
- Select the integration profiles you claim to support (e.g., CA:FeX, CA:Sec, CA:Aud, IUA, etc.)
- Following the instructions on how to use simulators test your system’s capabilities using the No Peer test cases listed in Gazelle for your system (here we likely want to have a bit more detail)
- Execute the test cases for each integration profile without worrying about log files
- Validate the content of your FHIR document using the Validator configured to PS-CA v1.1.0 package
- After successful completion of all of your tests (against simulators), get ready for log collection
- Set up your system to execute your transactions through the Gazelle proxy
- Repeat all of your test cases (for each registered integration profile) through the proxy and collect all log files. Link the log files to your executed test cases
- Complete all test cases in No Peer tests, including the document validation
- Collect the list of successful test cases and submit them for verification to Infoway (an email with test case links)
- Infoway will very successful completion and issue a conformance test report for your system listing all tested profiles and the results.
- Present this report to your jurisdictional team.
