Welcome to the Projectathon 2025 Clinical Scenarios and Test Case Information Page! This page provides a centralized hub for accessing test cases and datasets for the pan-Canadian specifications that will be tested at the Projectathon. Below, you will find links to detailed pages for each specification, where you can explore specific scenarios, datasets, and testing guidelines.

pan-Canadian Specifications Available for Testing at the Projectathon 2025

pan-Canadian Patient Summary (PS-CA)

pan-Canadian FHIR Exchange (CA:FeX)

For CA FeX, refer to the test cases and datasets associated with the PS-CA.

  • Note: CA FeX testing leverages the datasets and patient summaries used for PS-CA
  • Additionally, CA:FeX Single Resource Option (C) will be available testing: View Test Cases

pan-Canadian eReferral / eConsult (CA:eReC)

pan-Canadian Core FHIR Profile Set (CA Core+)

Gazelle - The Primary Testing Platform for the Projectathon

How to Find the Test Cases for each of the Specifications

All Projectathon 2025 test cases will reside in the Gazelle platform, the primary testing tool where vendors will test and prove that their products align with the published specifications. It is within the Gazelle platform where you will find the details for each test case, including the following information:

  • name of the profile(s) and transactions being tested (e.g., CA:FeX, CT, IUA)
  • actors involved in the test case
  • type of test:
    • Peer-to-Peer: tests between systems 
    • No-Peer: tests between a system and one of the supporting tools (e.g., CA:FeX Client Simulator)
  • indicator to identify if the test case is mandatory or optional. 
  • description of the test case with step-by-step instructions detailing how to run the test case

In addition to the Gazelle platform, a suite of testing tools, including validators and simulators, will be available for the No-Peer tests during the pre-Projectathon testing and Projectathon event testing. For more information about the testing tools, please refer to the Tools and Training page.

When to Run the Test Cases

The Projectathon includes two phases of testing: Pre-Projectathon testing and Projectathon testing. (Refer to the Registration and Schedule page for details about the timing of each phase.) The tables above, in section What will be Tested, categorize test cases by "Peer Type" of No-Peer tests and Peer-to-Peer tests. 

  • Pre-Projectathon testing: This phase will take place prior to the Projectathon event and include No-Peer tests (i.e., tests run between your system and one of the supporting tools). In Gazelle, all of the Pre-Projectathon tests for the Actors that you registered for will be listed.  
  • Projectathon testing: This phase will take place during the Projectathon event and include both No-Peer tests and Peer-to-Peer tests (i.e., tests between your system and another system). Note that prior to the Projectathon, connectivity testing must be completed (Refer to the Registration and Timelines page for more information about how and when to complete connectivity testing).
