 **Testing Process for the Secure Message Delivery Connectathon 19th - 23rd April 2010**

This document contains additional information for persons responsible for managing or testing a system in the Secure Message Delivery Connectathon in Canberra, April 19th – 23rd 2010.

The original IHE Australia document containing vendor information is at:

This document provides a set of facts, definitions and dates with collected information designed to prepare engineers for the Connectathon. Queries should be addressed to: Connectathon Technical Manager Jane Gilbert - AHML jane.gilbert@ahml.com.au 0401 043 689 The April 2010 Connectathon will be testing the Secure Message Delivery Specifications jointly developed by MSIA/NeHTA PIP working group.
 * Connectathon Testing **

These specifications which are now progressing to publication as Standards Australia Technical Specifications are: // TS100131 - E-Health Secure Message Delivery – Endpoint Specifications // // TS100133 - E-Health Web Services Profiles //

// DOWNLOAD DRAFT DOCUMENTS //

Vendors may additionally at their option, undertake interoperability testing using the IHE Diagnostic reporting profile recently published as Standards Australia Technical Specification and /or the draft IHE Australia eReferral profile (see : http://ihe-australia.wikispaces.com/eReferral)

eDiagnostics Profile: //ATS 5201-2010// //Australian diagnostic - Pathology and radiology - Reporting profile// can be downloaded for free from: []

Vendors may also opt to have this content tested as well, though this will be dependent on availability of testing partners and resources.

Although the Connectathon is being run from the 19th – 23rd April, IHE Australia will endeavour to minimise the amount of testing days required consistent with needs for appropriate numbers of testing partners. All participants will be expected to be in attendance for the first two days and may be longer, depending on the extent of testing completed.

There will be an open day on 21 April 2010 Wednesday morning to which IHE Australia will invite a range of senior managers to attend, and this event would provide significant public exposure for vendors. Participants may continue testing until Friday 23rd April 2010 to address any issues and prove their products with as many other products as possible.

Teleconferences ** An initial teleconference for interested vendors will be held at 1pm on 15th & 18th Feb 2010.

The dial-in-details are at: http://ihe-australia.wikispaces.com/Teleconference+%26+Webconference+details

Additional teleconference details will be posted at the same address. NeHTA are holding a pre-Connectathon workshop in early March to walk through the SMD specifications and workshop any implementation issues and provide assistance to the developers. In addition at the workshop test toolkits sample code will be made available. IHE and AHML will be describing and demonstrating the pre-testing and testing harnesses.

 * Testing Requirements of Vendors **

// Pre-Connectathon //

All participants are required to run a series of software tests in advance of the April 2010 Connectathon. These are designed as auditing tests to make sure you have prepared in advance; these are not full test suites or certification tests for a profile. Functional testing will be performed via AHML (www.ahml.com.au). Once registered (separate to Gazelle) users are able to test their endpoint against AHML’s test endpoints. Each test will produce a report with any problems identified.
 * Secure Message Delivery Functional Testing **

Functional testing will be available by the 15th of March and must be completed by the 8th of April. This means that the user must test their endpoints prior to this date and have no errors in their reports. Scenario testing will be performed via AHML (www.ahml.com.au). Once registered (separate to Gazelle) users are able to test their endpoint using the test cases and scenarios developed by the joint NeHTA/MSIA PIP working group. Each test will produce a report with any problems identified.
 * Secure Message Delivery Scenario Testing **

It is anticipated that initial scenario testing (one for each actor) will be available by early April 2010

// Connectathon // Each vendor participating in the Connectathon must perform interconnectivity testing successfully with partners during the Connectathon. Each vendor will be required to perform functional testing with 3 partners successfully. Additional detailed scenario testing will be available to provide more in depth testing of edge cases. Vendors who complete this testing successfully will receive an additional level of recognition.
 * Secure Message Delivery Functional Testing **
 * Secure Message Delivery Scenario Testing **
 * Connectathon Recognition **

Successful vendors will be able to use an Integration Statement recognising their result, and these Integration Statements will be publicised by NEHTA and IHE Australia

Successful participants will also be authorised to provide a Secure Messaging Conformance Statement.
