  1. NIST HL7 V2 IHE-PCD Pre- and Connectathon Test Tools (2011-2012 Cycle 6) John J. Garguilo and Sandra Martinez National Institute of Standards and Technology October 11th 2011 (WebEx 2 – 3 PM) Contact: john.garguilo@nist.gov

  2. NIST IHE-PCD V2 Test EffortNIST Team Members • John Garguilo (john.garguilo@nist.gov, 301-975-5248) • Sandra Martinez (sandra.martinez@nist.gov, 301-975-3579) • Julien DeShayes (julien.deshayes@nist.gov Guest Researcher) • Jing Gao (jing.gao@nist.gov Guest Researcher) NIST HL7 V2 Tool Web sites Instance Test Environment: http://hit-testing.nist.gov:13100/PCD-HL7WebCon/ New – Isolated Test Environment: http://hit-testing.nist.gov:13100/PCD-HL7WebPreCon/

  3. IHE-PCD Testing IHE-PCD Testing – Key Objectives • Increase test comprehensiveness & quality • Support both conformance & interoperability testing • Support for Pre- & Virtual-connectathons, actual Connectathon & enable year round testing • Remain in alignment with IHE-PCD integration profile development road map • Establish single framework for PCD covering increasing complexity and technologies over next 5 years • Coordinate with IHE “Gazelle Project” • Generate work products that companies can use in their regulatory submissions

  4. Advantages of NIST Tooling • Simplicity of use, quick feedback (via reports) • 24 hour x 365 day availability • Test Management Capability – easily record your test results • Viewable by IHE-PCD Test Manager (aka Manny Furst) • Tooling focused on IHE-PCD – including: • Current profiles, including recently adopted CPs, • Framework, Supplement, and Trial Implementation Documentation • PCD Test cases – pre-loaded to match/be synchronized with Gazelle • Level of rigor matches specifications (reference standards and TF docs) • No Conformance Profile needed • Already Integrated into the NIST tooling… • No stand-alone application installation needed (NIST web site interface) • MDC nomenclature/terminology included [hRTM] • Support of NIST team and synergy w/ IHE-PCD group

  5. Tooling Status • HL7 V2 Validation (IHE-PCD) (Required for Cycle 5, 2010-11) • Instance-type Environment (at message level) / Pre and Connectathon Setting • http://hit-testing.nist.gov:13100/PCD-HL7WebCon/ • http://hit-testing.nist.gov:8080/HL7Web/ (general use site – domain agnostic) • New for Cycle 6 (2011-12) • Isolated-type Environment / Pre-Connectathon Setting • Scenario based • Actor centric • One System Under Test (SUT) • http://hit-testing.nist.gov:13100/PCD-HL7WebPreCon/

  6. NIST IHE-PCD Test Tool: Actors / Transactions Supported • Test Tool required to fulfill 2011-12 V2 IHE-PCD Pre-Connectathon testing requirements • Results are stored in the NIST IHE-PCD tool; The IHE project manager will review the results

  7. Things to know • If port or IP is wrong, the test system times out > 2 mins • If NIST Test System tool acts as a reporter and sends to an incorrect port or IP – the message will go into cyber-space… • If NIST Test System tool acts as consumer, the parsed message will determine IP and port from reporter known issues/problems/ect… • When on vendor is registering multiple applications, the user must create multiple accounts (e.g., Co_1_Device, Co_2_Device) • The test system infuses “bad, but not too bad” messages so processing can continue; same when TS is consumer(e.g., if MSH.9 - Message Type, MSH.11 - HL7 Version, MSH.12 – are incorrect a ack with “AR’ with no furthering processing by the consumer)

  8. Issues • IPEC, WCM actors are not yet in Test System -Coming soon! • IPEC, WCM related tests have been identified but not completed – NIST is working w/ IHE-PCD Integration Profile groups to finalize (more discussion at F2F – agenda item) • In process of adding descriptions to test case documentation in NIST Test System • In the process of reconciling the test cases between Gazelle and NIST (Tool Index) • User’s Guide not completed - will be available on the site under “Documentation” (within ‘Documentation’ tab)

  9. NIST PCD Test Tool: Support • IHE-PCD Google Group • http://groups.google.com/group/ihe_pcd_testing • Preferred method of communication for discussing common issues • Go to the site and request membership • Administrative (only) issues can be sent directly to john.garguilo@nist.govsandra.martinez@nist.gov or julien.deshayes@nist.gov • Issues Tracker (suggested, not yet created) • http://code.google.com/pcdtool/issues/list • Google utility to report issues, bugs, and enhancement suggestions

  10. Troubleshooting • Site is unavailable • Typically means we are redeploying the application to make updates and the tool • We will announce redeployments • The downtime will be in the neighborhood of 10-15 minutes • Please refresh the browser following the redeployment • Server is controlled by central computing facility and may be unavailable • Site appears to be down • Restart in a new browser window • Site has timed out • This will happen if the tool is open in an inactive browser window • To correct, refresh the browser

  11. Troubleshooting (continued) • No response from console log • You may have sent to a destination that we could not process (i.e., an incorrect receiving name) • We will send back an acknowledge/error over the network • On the console log nothing will happen • You need to check the destination on your end • If you determined that this was the problem you can resend a properly addressed message; we’ll still be listening up to the session timeout • Completed report is missing • When we discover an error in the test case (i.e., the test case is wrong) we fix it • Tests that passed using an incorrect test are no longer valid • This should not occur often

  12. NIST Testing Strategy

  13. NIST Testing Strategy Test Environments • Instance Testing • Conformance (e.g., against HL7 2.x or CDA) • Implementation conforms to Spec. on which it is based • IHE Model: ~Virtual and Pre-Connectathon • Isolated System Testing • Includes Instance Testing Activities • Protocol Conformance • Functional Behavior Conformance • Features and Operational behavior correspond to Specs. • IHE Model: ~Virtual and Pre-Connectathon • Peer-to-Peer System Testing • Includes Isolated System Testing Activities • Interoperability Testing • Testing complete application environment • May include interacting w/ Database, using Network Communications, or interacting w/ other hardware, apps, or systems if appropriate • IHE Model: ~Connectathon

  17. Test Environment Message ValidationNIST V2 Testing Tools: IHE-PCD Validation of IHE-PCD message(s) and corresponding HL7 Profile(s) Syntax and Semantic Content Validation Against HL7 V2 message (e.g., PCD-01) Message structure (e.g., MSH,PID,PV1,OBR,NTE,{{OBX},OBX,OBX,OBX,…}) Against HL7 profile (Msg_type^Event_type^ e.g., ORU^R01^…) Against HL7 and/or user provided tables (value sets) Example of user provided table is RTM for Ref_IDs, Units, etc. Against ‘validation context’, including specific values Defined in XML (e.g., specific test case values)

  18. NIST V2 Testing Tools and Services Testing Validation Types Validation against ‘failure types’: VERSION*: The version in the message and in the profile should match. MESSAGE_STRUCTURE_ID*: The message type (MSH.9 element) in the profile and in the message should match. MESSAGE_STRUCTURE: The message should have a valid message structure (correct usage, correct cardinality, and correct element name). USAGE: R elements should be present; X elements should not be present in the message. CARDINALITY: Elements should be present at least the minimum times and at most the maximum times specified in the profile. It should also take into account the usage of the element (X element with a minimum of 4 should not be present in the message). LENGTH: The value of the element should have a length equal or less than the value specified in the profile. DATATYPE: For the datatype NM, DT, DTM, SI and TM, the value of the element should match the regular expression defined in the standard. DATA: The value of the element should match a constant specified in the profile, a value set specified in a table, a value or a regular expression specified in the message validation context. MESSAGE_VALIDATION_CONTEXT*: This is a user input error when the location specified in the message validation context can't be found in the message. TABLE_NOT_FOUND*: This is a user input when a table can't be found in the table files (TableProfileDocument). AMBIGUOUS_PROFILE*: The profile should not be ambiguous.
