DaVinci Plan Net v1.1.0 Test Kit

The Plan Net STU 1.1.0 Server Test Kit validates the conformance of a server implementation to the Plan Net STU 1.1.0 FHIR IG. Inferno will act as a client and make a series of requests to the server under test. The responses will be checked for conformance to the Plan Net IG requirements individually and used in aggregate to determine whether required features and functionality are present.

This test kit is open source and freely available for use or adoption by the health IT community including EHR vendors, health app developers, and testing labs. It is built using the Inferno Framework. The Inferno Framework is designed for reuse and aims to make it easier to build test kits for any FHIR-based data exchange.

Status

These tests are a DRAFT intended to allow Plan Net server implementers to perform preliminary checks of their servers against Plan Net IG requirements and provide feedback to ONC on the tests. Future versions of these tests may validate other requirements and may change how these are tested.

The test kit currently tests the following requirements:

  • Support for Must Support Elements
  • json Support
  • Support for all Plan Net Profiles
  • Read Interaction
  • Individual Search Parameters
  • _include Searches
  • _revinclude Searches
  • Forward Chain Searches
  • Reverse Chain Searches
  • Search Parameters in Combination

See the test descriptions within the test kit for details on the specific validations performed as a part of testing these requirements.

Additional details on the IG requirements that underlie this test kit, including those that are not currently tested, can be found in this spreadsheet. The spreadsheet includes

  • a list of requirements extracted from the IG.
  • the requirements tested by this DRAFT test kit.
  • an analysis of which requirements are testable, including areas where testable requirements are weak or unclear.
  • the approach taken to testing each tested requirement.
  • a map of requirements to test kit test ids.
  • open questions for IG authors seeking to clarify the IG requirements.

How to Run

Use either of the following methods to run the test suite against a Plan Net server. If you would like to try out the tests but don’t have a Plan Net server implementation, you can use the publicly available reference implementation available at FHIR URL https://plan-net-ri.davinci.hl7.org/fhir.

ONC Hosted Instance

You can run these tests via the ONC Inferno website.

Local Inferno Instance

  • Download the source code from this repository.
  • Open a terminal in the directory containing the downloaded code.
  • In the terminal, run setup.sh.
  • In the terminal, run run.sh.
  • Use a web browser to navigate to http://localhost.

Providing Feedback and Reporting Issues

We welcome feedback on the tests, including but not limited to the following areas:

  • Validation logic, such as potential bugs, lax checks, and unexpected failures.
  • Requirements coverage, such as requirements that have been missed, tests that necessitate features that the IG does not require, or other issues with the interpretation of the IG's requirements.
  • User experience, such as confusing or missing information in the test UI.

Please report any issues with this set of tests in the issues section of this repository.
