From epSOS Testing Strategy…

Test Data Definition:• Patient Identification Data – Provide ID information for a number of

patients acting as Country A, present in the testing environment of the PN, and the necessary credentials (e.g. unique patient identifier, name/surname/birth date, depending on the nation);

• Document Data – 7 types of documents: PS CDA Level 3 (fully structured) and CDA Level 1 (.pdf embedded in the CDA envelope), eP CDA Level 3 (fully structured) and CDA Level 1, eD CDA Level 3 (fully structured) and CDA Level 1, Patient Consent CDA Level 1.

• Technical Data – e.g. MVC, MTC and LTR, XML Schemas, any other non patient /document data necessary for testing.

From epSOS Testing Strategy…

Test Data Generation:• Patient Identification Data – All relevant Patient Information to use in e-

SENS Pilot Participating Nation; structure, Character Sets, Syntax of the Info (e.g. patient address) has to be the same as in the “real world” scenario.

• Document Data – Test Documents for End-To-End Validation: • CRITICAL TEST DATA – A pre-defined set of well-formed and not well-formed PS, eP and eD documents in

the English Language based upon the epSOS Schema and MVC. PNs have to transform them into their own CDA format and language.

• Not well-formed: (medical documents containing values that are not specified in the MVC or cannot be translated)

• REPRESENTATIVE TEST DATA – Sample Documents provided by PN’s representative of typical data generated by the underlying NI – National Infrastructure.

From epSOS Testing Strategy…

Critical Test Data• Previously created to cover the widest extent of underlying standard/profile.

Purpose: ensure the robustness of the system under test. It cannot be used to test Nation Connector from country A, but can be used to test Country-B NCP and Portal.

• Question: Can we re-use the CTD used in epSOS? • More work to be done in order to get them.• MM: the epSOS documents can be reused since they ‘ve been prepared by health

professionals;• MM: the epSOS documents were created according to the specifications available at the

moment, so it is necessary to update those documents to the current specification of PS and eP.

• The XML files in Gazelle may not be updated according to PS and eP changes to specification.

• MM: there is a FAQ on CTD (4 pages document) that MM will share.

From epSOS Testing Strategy…

Representative Test Data• Generated by PN’s.• Used as reference data for documents generated by a specific PN.• Work as the basic test for functional end-to-end tests.• Specifications for generating these documents from epSOS: ??

• MM: there will be no specification on RTD• MM: there will be the request for having at least 3 PS or eP documents provided directly by

NI.

From epSOS Testing Strategy…

End-To-End Functional Tests:• Performed by PN’s Healthcare Professionals• HP’s and / or semantic experts of the PN’s acting as

Country B do several patient data exchanges from PS and/or eP/eD. After, they are asked to fill an electronic questionnaire.

• Question: can we re-use the questionnaire used in epSOS?• MM: yes ! It should be available in Gazelle (contact IHE, EXPAND Maintenance Shop )

Questions at this point

Is this “simpler” strategy adopted from epSOS feasible?• MM: it is usable, but there are something missing:

• Full list of test in Gazelle, check witch one need to be updated; add new ones if needed • (negotiation with IHE, may be needed);• Take in consideration the EXPANDATHON for 9-11 of December

Where can we improve this PPT in order to be completely “clear” on what is needed by each MS?

• MM: take the table listing the different test (from epSOS delivery 3.9.2 and 3.C 1) and ask to make a selection of the test that need to be performed under e-SENS.

• Include the overall testing strategy picture.

Where can we find more info about Testing Strategy from epSOS?• D. 3.C.1 & D. 3.C.1 Appendix B• 3.9.2

eHealth Pilot - Testing Strategy

Questions at this point

How will we store and share the Patient ID’s from each MS? • RA: Clean the document and fill it with e-SENS valid CTD and RTD.• RA: Store in the BSCW (in excel file)

Can we re-use the CTD generated in epSOS?• YES!!!

Can we re-use the questionnaire used in epSOS?• YES!!! Confirm with IHE

Where can we find specification about documents to be generated by each MS?
