7.3 Resource TestScript - Content

FHIR Infrastructure Work GroupMaturity Level: 2 Trial UseSecurity Category: Anonymous Compartments: Not linked to any defined compartments

A structured set of tests against a FHIR server or client implementation to determine compliance against the FHIR specification.

7.3.1 Scope and Usage

The TestScript resource is used to define tests that can be executed on one or more FHIR servers. The TestScript resource would typically contain

  • a list of fixtures (required resources used in the tests)
  • setup procedures
  • a suite of thematically related tests
  • teardown procedures

For example, one TestScript might feature a set of tests focusing on searching Patients and validating the Bundle responses. The fixtures for such a test would contain a list of Patient resources that are required for the test to complete successfully. The setup procedures create the fixtures on the FHIR server being tested. A series of tests execute various search parameters and search for the fixtures in the results. The teardown procedures would then clean up (delete) the fixtures on FHIR server that were created during the setup procedures.

The purpose of the TestScript is to encode in an executable representation tests that can be used to

  1. determine whether a given FHIR server adheres to the FHIR specification and
  2. determine whether two or more FHIR servers implement capabilities in a compatible or interoperable manner.
It might not be possible to fully automate the latter goal (especially with regards to business rules that might ride on top of different implementations), however the tests should be able to determine whether two servers support the operations, value sets, profiles, and extensions to exchange Bundles of Resources (such as returned from the Patient $everything operation).

7.3.2 Boundaries and Relationships

The TestScript resource should NOT be used to represent Clinical tests, Prescriptions, or any other Healthcare related concept. The TestScript resource is an infrastructure support resource used to represent standardized tests to determine an implementation's level of adherence to the FHIR specification.

TestScript is a part of the conformance framework and is used to validate the behavior of FHIR systems, specifically their correct implementation of StructureDefinition, ValueSet, OperationDefinition, CapabilityStatement and other FHIR resources that govern system behavior. TestScript instances may be included as part of ImplementationGuides to help define and test the desired behavior of systems that choose to comply with the implementation guide.

The following resources represent the FHIR conformance framework that are used to express the expected behavior of a FHIR compliant system:

7.3.3 Background and Context

7.3.3.1 Background

The TestScript resource is designed to establish testing as a first class artifact within the FHIR specification. This resource allows defining a suite of tests that can be executed on one or more FHIR servers and clients.

Implementers should be familiar with the testing concepts and descriptions found in Testing FHIR before working with this resource.

7.3.4 References

This resource is referenced by TestReport.

This resource does not implement any patterns.
