Overview

This page contains information about test tools available for testing IHE Profiles. Several organization contribute to this set of tools; thus, the tools currently reside in different locations and have a variety of support models (jira, email lists). Not all IHE profiles have test tools. This can be a challenge for new implementors, but it is the current state of affairs.

These tools are commonly used in the context of an IHE Connectathon. In that case, the test management tool called 'Gazelle' gives you a customized list of tests to do based on the IHE profiles you support. The tools referenced on this page can be used outside of a Connectathon, but the information on this page assumes that Gazelle Test Management is helping to manage testing.

Index to IHE Test Tools

This table lists the tools available for testing IHE profiles, along with links to the tool & documentation.

-=  What if a test reports a problem in my software? =
-The IHE tools are intended to test compliance with specifications in the IHE Technical Frameworks.
-When a tool logs an error, it is reporting a difference between a message produced by a vendor application and <i>the tool developer’s interpretation</i> of the requirements in the Technical Framework.
-So, a typical reaction by an implementer to an error reported by a tool is one of:
-* “Oh wow, I have a gap in my implementation.  I can now fix it so that my message is compliant with the requirements in the IHE Technical Framework.”
-* “The tool reported this error, but I think my implementation is correct.”  In that case, you should report the error. We will make an assessment of the tool vs. the specification and will happily fix the tool as needed.
-* “The tool reported an error, but for ‘X’ reason (product-specific, deployment-scenario-specific…), I will not change my implementation to be 100% IHE-compliant for this message."
-A given tool rarely, if ever, provides 100% coverage in evaluating an implementation vs. IHE Technical Framework requirements.    For some IHE profiles, there is more than one tool, each providing different coverage.
-In the context of a Connectathon, IHE promotes a combination of compliance testing between your implementation and a tool **and** face-to-face interoperabity testing between vendors at IHE Connectathons.  We believe that combination helps implementers both shake out bugs in their implementation and also demonstrate their ability to interoperate with other vendors based on specifications in IHE Profiles.
-IHE Technical Project Managers who have overseen testing at NA and EU IHE Connectathons for many years have heard more than once developers describe the built-in “if Connectathon” switch in their software -- the ability to "turn on" certain capabilities to satisfy a tool or Connectathon test.  We cringe every time.  If your software fails a tool-based test or peer-to-peer test, you should do the assessment in the bullet list above.  In [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ihe-xds-implementors/I0rejbyRgDU this email thread], John Moehrke (ITI Tech Cmte) provides an example in the context of an audit message.
-For the purpose of IHE Connectathon testing, we have never “failed” a vendor for its implementation of a IHE profile/actor because of a single error message reported by a tool.
