Communication

We are introducing a new feature to allow participants of a testing event to communicate fluently, using an external communication that is linked to Gazelle Test Management (management of channels for discussions).

Any user who is registered in a testing session as testing session manager, monitor, or SUT operator, shall be able to access the communication tool using his Gazelle credentials.

Gazelle users who do not participate in a testing session shall not have access to the communication tool. If they do have an account, it shall be inactivated.

During a test run, several actions are performed by the SUT operators and the monitors. If a test run channel exists, Gazelle Test Management shall post messages to inform the channel's members of the following events:

• The status of the test run changes;
• The status of a test step changes;
• Someone posts a message in the chat window;
• Someone adds an evidence in a test step or at the test run level.
• A monitor claims the test
• A monitor unclaim the test

IHE Catalyst is creating an IHE Community with the support of Zoho Connect tool. The test session manager can take advantage of this tool to broadcast announcement to the community (or a group inside this community). Some announcement can be automatically triggered to the participants.

As a test session manager, I shall be able to announce to one or more groups that a test session is now open for registration;

When the registration deadline is reached, Gazelle Test Management shall trigger a notification to the groups that the registration is now closed;
