Testing: Interop is proven, not assumed
Build a verification pipeline that continuously checks conformance across validators, servers, SDKs, and test platforms.
Typical challenges in this area:
- Validation only happens at release time
- One validator passes but implementers fail
- Terminology tests are flaky due to server drift
- Test suites are not portable across platforms
The Testing & Verification provide essential capabilities:
Validator Gate in CI
Run IG Publisher validation as a hard gate on every PR.
Key Benefits: - Prevents broken packages - Catches FHIRPath issues
Cross-Product Interop Matrix
Test across validators/servers/SDKs continuously to catch ecosystem differences early.
Key Benefits: - Avoid vendor-specific success - Build confidence
TestScript / Inferno / Touchstone Alignment
Write portable conformance tests using TestScript/TestPlan conventions and execute on common platforms.
Key Benefits: - Reusable across vendors - Supports certification
