Description

The workflow involves 2 main actors (we don't check the IDP part) :

  • The Authorization Client : A client that retrieves access tokens.
  • The Authorization Server : A server that issues access tokens to requesting clients.

In order to check the compliance a complete ITI-71 transaction, I need to validate :

  1. The Get Authorization Code request (Http GET message).
  2. The Get Authorization Code response (with the code).
  3. The Get Access Token Request (Http POST message, code included).
  4. The Get Access Token response (with also a Token validation).

The steps of this workflow SHALL be tested either for a Basic Token or an Extended Token.

Targetted goal(s)

The main objective is to offer to SUT operators a way to verify the correctness of the HTTP requests and responses issued by their systems under test, against the ITI-71 requirements. In case of failure of the SUT to demonstrate that it complies with the specifications, the SUT operator shall understand what and where the errors are.

When the HTTP message contains a body (Steps 2 to 4), the SUT operator shall be able to assess as well the conformance of its content against specifications.

Expected benefit

Short term benefit (< 1 year):

Canadian second Projectathon's participants will be able to test IUA ITI-71 messages before and during the event. It will also permit to increase consequently the validation time for monitors.

Middle and long term benefit (>= 1 year):

Since Canada Health Infoway choose to use the unmodified IHE specifications for IUA, this Validation Profile will be used in all the other IHE platforms.

Opportunities

This User Need is almost the same as SUT Operator verifies the conformance of the RAD-107 request and response messages.

A common validation service should be developped.

Description

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.

Targetted goal(s)

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:

  • Support participants during the preparatory phase
  • facilitate the exchange of information (patient identifier, logs) during on-site events
  • be able to leave a message to an on-site participant (or monitor or TSM) when it is busy on another subject.

 

Expected benefit

Preparatory phase:

  • better support to the participants
  • create a place for exchange

Online:

  • make the test event happens

Onsite:

  • fasten the test execution and debugging

Description

A lot of information are shared with the test event participant through the tool and they are available in various places. As a consequence, the participant has to regularly consult the various pages to check if a status changed or if a new information is available.

To inform the information in a timely manner, a notification system should be put in place.

Targetted goal(s)

Inform the participant in a timely manner of any useful information through an instant messaging system.

Expected benefit

Improve the user experience;

Save time to the participant, he does not have to look in the tool to find the information.

Description

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.

Targetted goal(s)

Adapt the wording to the event supported by Gazelle TM.

Use a common language.

Expected benefit

Improve the user experience.

Opportunities

Sharazone, Inter-AMC and EPD projects will directly take advantage of this update.

Documentation

As a first action, we should make the current Connectathon menu agnostic of the type of test session:

  • Use the "type" (from the testing session configuration) as display name in the menu bar where "Connectathon" is currently used.
  • In case we do not merge the preparatory tests and test session tests:
    • The "Pre-Connectathon" sub menu might be renamed into "Preparatory tests"
    • The "Pre-Connectathon Tests" sub menu might be renamed into "List of preparatory tests"
    • The "Pre-connectathon results" sub menu shall be renamed into "Preparatory test results"
  • The "Connectathon" sub menu might be renamed into "Testing"
  • The "Connectathon" menu entry (lower level) could be renamed "Execute tests" (as well as the short cut in the top menu bar)
  • The "Connectathon result" menu entry should be renamed "Test session results"
  • The "Download connectathon report" menu entry should be renamed "Download test session report"

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

PreConnectathon Preparatory tests  
Test instance Test run  
Testing session Test session

Send notification by email

Submitted by abe on Thu, 09/02/2021 - 16:04
Description

Gazelle tools can push notifications to the user. In particular, when the status of a test instance changes or when a comment is added to the chat window of a test case, a message is pushed to the user and it populates the Messages queue.

Sharazone is an asynchronous testing event and the participants are not always connected to Gazelle Test Management. As a consequence, the push notification feature is not useful since it requires the user to have a constant look to the GUI. 

The user can turn on the notification by email and, when the Testing Session Manager allows it, the notifications are also sent by email.
