A common testing framework can be used by all developers to ensure compatibility and consistent behaviour across systems; and aids in the quality assessemnt of developed systems being fit for purpose in tested areas. This can also form the basis of technical education to allow allow verification of generated data instances when training.
To support FHIR testing in difference areas the following implementation guides are currently relevant:
...
To support a basic level of capability by systems the following is recommended:
- Define specific scope of requirements; agreed areas of interest
- Confirm FHIR implementation guide content is adequate for testing
- Use and develop testing modules for coverage of tests needed
...
- Ontoserver: terminology/profile validation; needed to test FHIR instances for correctness including terminology content
- Inferno Framework (https://inferno.healthit.gov/) : testing framworkframework; modules need to be assessed and developed for local requirements
Alongside the tools tools ongoing activities needed include
