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 implementers, but it is the current state of affairs.
These tools are commonly used in the context of an IHE Connectathon. In that case, our 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 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.
To determine which tool to use for the profile you want to test, please refer to the domain-specific Index to Pre-Connectathon Tests in the next section.

How to find your Pre-Connectathon Test Requirements, Tools and Documentation
Each system participating in an IHE Connectathon is required to run a set of pre-Connectathon tests based on the actors/profiles you registered for. First find out which tests are required for your system, then download the tools and documentation you need. Here's how...
- What is the general pre-Connectathon test process?
- You will locate the tools and documentation you need using the tables below. Some tools you will run locally in your lab; other tools you will access over the internet.
- You will complete all tests from your required list of "test to do" in Gazelle. Each test contains a link to the test description containing instructions.
- For most pre-Connectathon tests, you will exchange a message (defined in an IHE transaction) with a test tool. Some tests ask you to test an object (eg. CDA document, DICOM image) against a tool that evaluates its contents. The tool will evaluate the message or object and create a log file indicating 0 or more errors.
- Once you achieve an error-free log for each test, upload that log file into Gazelle.
- Connectathon Project Managers will be monitoring your progress completing tests in the weeks prior to the Connectathon.
- Specifically, what are my pre-Connectathon test requirements??? - Pre-Connectathon Test Requirements are available in Gazelle after the close of Connectathon registration.
- Requirements for your connectathon test system are in Gazelle under menu Connectathon-->Pre-Connectathon Testing This list of tests to do is based on the profile/actors/options you have registered to test. This is also where you upload results/logs for pre-connectathon tests.
- How do I find the test tool software and documentation I need???
- The answer to this question has two parts:
- Refer to the Index to Pre-Connectathon Test Status by Domain on this page. This will tell you which tools you need based on the profiles you are testing
- Next, refer to the Index to IHE Tools below, which contains the location of the software & documentation for each tool
- Note that, unlike Connectathon tests, the pre-Connectathon test descriptions do not reside in gazelle itself. This is because IHE has several different organizations that contribute tools and tests. Each pre-Connectathon test in gazelle does contain a link to the external test descriptions.
- The answer to this question has two parts:
- Where do I upload the results (test logs) from my pre-Connectathon tests In gazelle under Connectathon-->Pre-Connectathon Testing
- When are my test logs due? - Refer to the schedule for your Connectathon. Each event has its own due date.
Are these tests a requirement?
Occasionally we get questions like, "Do I have to complete pre-Connectathon tests in order to participate in the Connectathon?", or "What happens if I don't do my tests?"
In the early years of IHE, the Connectathon sponsors told vendors that if they did not complete their pre-Connectathon tests, they were not allowed to participate in the Connectathon itself. Over time, this hard-and-fast rule has been relaxed a bit to ensure that all interested vendors have the opportunity to perform Connectathon testing.
Here is the guidance we give now: IHE invests in tool development and gives you a set of pre-Connectathon tests because we believe that when you perform these tests, you will improve the implementation of IHE profiles in your product. The tools are useful during development as well as to confirm that your development efforts reached at least one point of confirmation. And, you will be ***much*** more likely to pass your tests during the Connectathon. Connectathon Managers review your pre-Connectathon test logs in advance of the event. We know which vendors are prepared and which are not. Unprepared vendors who are struggling during the Connectathon will get low priority support from both the Connectathon Managers and the monitors grading tests. The Connectathon is a fast-paced, rigorous engineering event; if you are not prepared, your test partners will quickly learn that you are not a reliable partner and turn their attention to testing with a vendor who is prepared.
We hope that you are motivated to do your very best to prepare for the Connectathon by completing all of your pre-Connectathon tests by the posted deadline, but completing tests late is better than not doing them at all.
Are they a requirement if I am doing Supportive testing?
Our policy on Supportive testing states that if you qualify to perform Supportive testing, pre-Connectathon tests are not a requirement (because you have completed them in a previous year). Note, however, that we do not remove these tests from your pre-Connectathon list of 'Tests do do'; some vendors still want to perform the tests as part of their preparation. If you choose to skip the tests, just mark their status to be 'Supportive' in gazelle so we understand your intent.

Patient Care Devices
Paul Sherman is the Technical Project Manager who oversees testing in this domain.
| Profile | Status of pre-Connectathon tests | Tool to use / Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-Connectathon Tests; RTM conformance is required for all except IDCO and RDQ (see below). | PCD uses NIST PCD Tools for most HL7 v2 Pre-Connectathon tests. Links are provided here.
If an Isolated Test is available that is the required test. A few tests are at the Instance Test level. In that case, Instance Tests are the type test required. Most Isolated Tests include Instance Testing, and Instance Tests can be used as development tools for most tests. CAUTION: Select the correct URL for the type of test (Isolated or Instance) required for Pre-Connectathon testing – i.e., if an Isolated Test is available that is the required test; Instance Tests are required only if an Isolated Test is not available. The type of test is defined within the Gazelle test.
If the required test is an Isolated Test you must remember to post the test results within the test tool. For all tests upload the log to Gazelle and indicate Self Verified; comments may be included. You can find the list of tests with identification of the type of test at ftp://ftp.ihe.net/Patient_Care_Devices/ConnectathonsIncludingProcessAndTesting/YR7-2012Connectathon-PreConnectathonAndVirtualConnectathonTesting/. | |
