• Issues with Test Tools

• Concern was expressed regarding Test Tool requirements the presence and values for attributes (Study Description). Required attribute values may not be available in data other than Test Data. (Test tools are OK.)

• Concern expressed regarding criteria for comparison of registrations: 5% difference criterion in test tools may lead to false negatives. Testers will need to take this into account in evaluating registrations. The goal is to assure that transformations are communicated correctly.

• Harold – Question about Registered Contourer (Test Tools Scenario #1): Is it required for a Registered Contourer Actor to be able to import contours in on FoR, and export them into a second FoR? Consensus is that this capability is not optional.
