Why do we need test tools ?Why do we need test tools ?

1. Reduce the number of systems to 80 because the room we have reserved for the connectathon is too small !

2. The project manager is evil and he likes to make you suffer with buggy mesa tools !

3. The project manager like to spend his night checking logs

4. Prepare your systems for the connectathon !

Hardware/network requirement for testing

• One computer system can :– Support all of the MESA actors – Can serve as the driver for any system under test.

• Only one computer required to test an IHE actor.

• It is impossible to test multiple systems simultaneously – (sockets are not multi-threaded).

• You need to test separate systems serially with little or no reconfiguration.

Recommendations for MESA SoftwareRecommendations for MESA Software

• We recommend that you install and test the software as soon as possible

• The authors try to make the installation process simple, but there will be some difficulties

• It is better to go through a round of installation now rather than waiting until the “final/next” release is available;

MESA Test InteractionsMESA Test Interactions

• Most MESA tests are independent of other tests. You can run them in any order.

• Most tests overwrite common data areas. They do not overwrite the output of the evaluation scripts.

• This implies you should run a test and perform the evaluation before starting another test.

• Captures messages between peers– Allow logging of messages in a consistent manner– Allow validation of messages on the fly by Gazelle EVS– Log message to test step

• How does it work – Each HL7 responder will have a port map on the proxy– HL7 Initiator can send message to the responder or to the
