Ensure that the system complies with the FHIR standards by testing its API endpoints and data exchange processes against the specifications defined in the Implementation Guide (IG).

Test Execution Steps

Analyze FHIR Implementation Guide (IG) Requirements

  • Review the IG to identify key compliance requirements, including resource profiles, extensions, and terminology bindings.

Validate FHIR Resource Profiles

  • Verify that all FHIR resources conform to the structure and constraints specified in the IG.
  • Test for compliance with required, must-support, and optional elements.

Verify Extensions and Modifications

  • Validate custom extensions and modifications to ensure they are defined and implemented according to the IG.

Terminology Binding Validation

  • Confirm that codable concepts and value sets adhere to the terminology bindings specified in the IG.

Check Conformance Statements

  • Validate system compliance with declared FHIR capabilities (e.g., search parameters, read, write, or operation support).

Validate Interactions and APIs

  • Test API interactions (read, create, update, delete) to ensure they align with IG requirements.

Test for Cardinality Rules

  • Verify adherence to cardinality rules (minimum and maximum occurrence constraints) specified in the IG.

HTTP Status Code Validation

  • Validate API responses to ensure appropriate HTTP status codes are returned based on FHIR operations.

Data Validation Against IG Examples

  • Compare FHIR resource instances against examples provided in the IG for accuracy and adherence.

Decision Point

  • If validation fails: Proceed to "Defect Logging."
  • If validation passes: Proceed to "Documentation of Compliance."

Defect Log in Jira & Xray

  • Log identified defects in Jira and link them to corresponding Xray test cases for traceability.

Issue Fixes

  • Address non-compliance issues to ensure the API meets FHIR IG standards.

Retesting & Regression Testing

  • Retest resolved issues to confirm compliance.
  • Conduct regression testing to verify no new issues were introduced.

Test Report Generation

  • Generate a consolidated test report summarizing validation outcomes, including test success rates, defects, logs, and screenshots.

Deliverables

  1. Test Report: Summary of test execution, success rates, defects, and screenshots.
  2. Defect Management Records: Complete traceability of logged defects from identification to resolution.
