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.
