Pre-Connectathon tests -- What & Why?
• **Before** testing live w/ partners at connectathon:
• Test transactions using simulators. Check content (images, documents) with validators.
• Identify and correct software bugs in advance
• Optional opportunity to test via the internetwith Connectathon partners.
• Profile-specific preparation (for some profiles)
• A key to success at the connectathon
Pre-Connectathon Test Types
Workflow: Exchange web services, HL7 and DICOM messages with a tool
Content: Evaluate whether you produced the proper content for a message, image or document
Sample Exchange: upload sample DICOM images or CDA documents into gazelle so your partners can review before the Connectathon
