Gazelle lists the available Zoho groups to the TSM
As a test session manager, I shall be able to see what are the available Zoho groups in IHE community to select the ones to target.
Responsible for the organisation of a testing session.
Assigns the monitors to the test session and assign test cases to monitors.
Accepts or not the registration of systems under test
As a test session manager, I shall be able to see what are the available Zoho groups in IHE community to select the ones to target.
In Gazelle Test Management, on several occasions, the user is invited to create preset. He creates a cookie that works like a bookmark. Presets are available:
In both cases, the user is allowed to create 4 presets at a maximum. Except there is a technical reason, there is no other reason why the users could no create as many presets as he needs.
As a participant to a test session, I want to receive notification when the documentation is updated so that I know when new information is available.
As a user of Gazelle Test Management, I want to access the list of tools I need to use when preparing / executing the test session
In the last years, the Projectathons have been held online as well as the two last European Connectathons. In that context, Rocket.chat has been used as a communication tool between the participants, with the test session managers, and with the monitors.
The SHARAZONE participants also use this tool for one-to-one communications. It is also the place where the SHARAZONE administrator broadcast information to the participants: new object available, tool maintenance, and so on.
All the involved parties agree that this tool is really useful and might also have an interest during onsite testing events.
Main goal: allow participants to online events to communicate in a timely manner: find test partners, execute test cases, review test cases, share screen.
Secondary goals:
Preparatory phase:
Online:
Onsite:
As a Test Session Manager, I want to broadcast information to all the participants (text message / attachments).
As a Test Session Manager, I want to broadcast information to all the monitors (text message / attachments).
As a Test Session Manager, I want to hold calls with all the participants to the online event (video is optionnal).
As a Test Session Manager, I want to share my screen with all the participants when the event is online.
As a monitor, I want the participant to share his screen with me so that I can verify the outcome of the test even when working remotely.
As a SUT operator, I want to share information with my partners of the test instance.
As a monitor, I want to contact all the SUT operators of a particular test instance when we are working online.
As a SUT operator, I want to contact the management team when I have a question during an online event.
As a participant (SUT operator, monitor, test session manager), I want to receive all the notifications in one place.
As a test session manager, I want to enrol all the participants to the event in the communication tool.
As a participant, I want to use my Gazelle login to access the communication space.
As a test session manager, I want to offer one public channel per system or at least one public channel per organisation.
As a test session manager, I want to reuse the same "default" channels from an event to the other.
As a test session manager, I want to pin a message at the top of a given channel as a reminder to readers.
Gazelle Test Management requires an owner to be set for each SUT. However, the owner might be a person who does not attend the event. In that case, it is problematic for the other participants and the test session manager because there is no onsite contact point.
In addition, some companies regiter their SUT for a large amount of capabilities and they attend with more than 3/4 persons. In that case, it is also hard for the participants to know who to address testing inquiries.
This new need tries to solve (at least partially) this issue.
Give an accurate single point of contact to test partners
Ease the communication between participants
Target the correct person when looking for test partners
As a SUT Operator, I want to know who to contact to test a particular profile with one of my possible test partners.
If a communication tool is set up for the event, I want to have a link to send a direct message to my contact.
When the registration to a test event is open, a list of profiles is offered to the participants. In most of the cases, not all the actors of all the profiles will be selected by the registrants. That means that the test session manager needs to assess whether it is possible to test each individual profile or not.
Currently, Gazelle Test Management allows the test session manager to download a PDF file which gives, for each actor of each profile the names of the systems that claim to support it. Then, the test session manager has to maintain, outside of Gazelle, the list of testable profiles.
When time permits, the test session manager marks the SUT AIPO for non-testable profiles as "no peer". It is a manual action that should be avoided.
Support better the test session manager and domain managers in decided whether a profile can be tested or not.
Ease the registration process for the test session manager.
Give a better overview of the scope of the test session to the participants.
As a test session manager, I want to see the list of profiles selected for the current test session and, for each profile, I need the following information:
As a test session manager, I want to be able to give a status to each profile among: not testable, testable, at risk, not assessed yet.
As a test session manager, I want to decide when to make the list of profiles (along with their status) public to the test session participants.
As a test session manager, I want to be able to ask the tool to mark as "no peer" all the AIPOs when the profile's status is set to "not testable".
As a SUT operator, I shall not be able to add a "not testable" profile to my SUT. However, I want to see it in the list of profiles so that I understand why I cannot select it.
As a SUT operator, I shall not be able to start a test for a not testable profile also the actors appear in the test plan (with status = "no peer").
Especially during the registration period, the test session manager has to regularly access the list of registered SUT to perform several operations or simply to follow-up on the registration status.
Currently there are too many pages targetted to the test session manager that are redundant and none of them show a complete view. This need is aimed to simplify the SUT management pages for the test session manager.
Offer to the test session manager a single page where to manage the SUT for the current test session.
Ease the registration process for the test session manager and save him time.
Reduces the number of pages to be maintained in the future.
As a test session manager, I want to access the list of registered systems and see the following information for each of them:
In Gazelle, the wording is not always consistent with ISTQB and it is really Connectathon oriented. It leads to confusion to Gazelle users. The wording shall be adapted in several places to improve the user experience.
Adapt the wording to the event supported by Gazelle TM.
Use a common language.
Improve the user experience.
Sharazone, Inter-AMC and EPD projects will directly take advantage of this update.
As a first action, we should make the current Connectathon menu agnostic of the type of test session:
Then, everywhere in the tool, we should use the following vocabulary:
Current term | New (English) | New (French) |
---|---|---|
TF | Interoperability model | |
Tests list | Tests | Tests |
Test definition | Test cases | Cas de tests |
MetaTest List | ||
Configuration | SUT Configurations | Configurations des SUT |
Network | Network details | Informations réseau |
All configurations | SUT network configurations | Configurations réseau des SUT |
Connectathon | ||
PreConnectathon | Preparatory tests | |
Test instance | Test run | |

system | SUT |
During the registration and the execution of the event, the test session manager has to look into different places to find useful figures to manage the event. To ease the follow-up of the session, creating dashboard to quickly have a look to various indicators is necessary.
Give an overview of the registration and the test execution to the test session manager.
Ease the report to the IHE T&T committee by provided the expected figures to the test session manager.
Ease the work of the test session manager and save him time to support better the participants.
For a specific testing session:
