Using the application

Register

There are a number of registration steps to perform (some of which may have already been done for you).

See if you have already been added as a 'Person' in the 'People tab. If not, then add yourself using the 'new Person link. You might also want to check and possibly update the data there. Once you've done this, you can then be associated with a client or a server, and a summary will appear in the people tab.
Next, add any clients or servers that you have using the Client or Server tab. For a client you add the name of the client (which must be unique), a description, and yourself as the contact. A Server is similar, except that you add the URL to the server root, and click the 'check' button to retrieve the CapabilityStatement (which is required of all FHIR servers).
Finally, for any Client/Server scenarios that you intend to participate in, add your client or server to the appropriate scenario in the 'Testing' tab (using the Client/Server subtab).

Record

At any stage, you can record the outcome of a test - or just make a note against a scenario. There are a number ways to do this.

For a Client/Server interaction, use the Testing tab (where you registered your Client or Server in the previous step). There is a link at the intersettion of the Client and Server where the details can be entered. The data that can be entered includes:
- The person entering the result (the Asserter). This is an auto-complete picklist from the registered people
- The outcome of the test. Options are Pass, Fail, Partial and Note (The latter used when no test was actually performed, but some notes want to be registered
- A general comments field
- Tracker items made as a result of the test. There is a link to GForge (where trackers are entered), and the tracker is entered directly into GForge, and the URL is then pasted manually back to the form
There can only be a single result for any combination of Client & Server, but it can be edited. Note that there is no security applied - anyone can make any change.
There is also a 'Scenario Direct' option. This is similar to the above, except that there is no Client or Server, and is intended to allow ah-hoc notes to be made, or more complex interactions described.

Report

Finally, view (and download) the results in the Results tab.

Structure

Testing

Each test has 2 participants - a client in a role, and a server in a role. (This is not a limit of the underlying structure - simply the User Interface at the moment). The data collected for the outcome of the test is:

The person who is asserting the outcome of the test
Pass, Fail or Partial
An optional note for any other information

The test results can be viewed and edited in the Scoring tab, and summarized in the Results tab. There is also a download option in the Results tab.
