TestBATN Framework TestBATN Framework is

Generic Web-based Modular with Pluggable Adaptors Capable of testing all the layers in the Interoperability Stack,

namely, Business layer, Application Layer and Transport and the Network Layers

Both Conformance and Interoperability can be tested Using TestBATN, the scenarios for HL7 and NESUBL are already

developed TestBATN is being used in industry to test the conformity of

Hospital Information Systems (HIS) to the National Health Information System (NHIS) of Turkey based on HL7 v3 CDA for more than a year now

It can be used test conformance and interoperability of any standard like OAGIS, GS1 eCOM, CIDX, RosettaNet, etc.

TestBATN Features

TestBATNTest Execution Model consisting of high level test constructs

Provides functionalities to handle or simulate different parts or layers of the interoperability stack

Can automate the whole testing process Messaging Capabilities (Sending, Receiving, Listening) Data Processing Capabilities Test Assertions Configuration Management User Interaction (set/show scenario requirements, test

questions, monitoring test execution)

TestBATN Test Description Language A computer interpretable XML-based test

description language which provides Flexibility To design, Modify, Maintain and Extend the test

functionality In contrast to a priori designed and hard coded test cases

Provides a graphical environment Where a test designer can assemble the reusable test

constructs to design a test scenario

Modular Approach Messaging Interface

Transport/Communication Adaptor Interface: To receive, send or listen to messages in different protocols like TCP, HTTP, SMTP, etc.

Packaging Adaptor Interface: To pack or unpack messages according to higher layer messaging protocols such as SOAP or ebMS

Test Adaptor Interface Validation Adaptor Interface: To validate a content according a given schema

and to generate a verdict and a structured test report (XML Schema Validator or Schematron Validator)

Verification Adaptor Interface: To perform complex tests on any content and to generate a verdict and a structured test report for the performed tests (XPATH Verifier, Regular Expression Verifier, other special purpose test tools)

Value Initiator Adaptor Interface: To generate or to chose random values from a specific value list

Function Library Interface: To facilitate the definition and implementation of functions to be used in TestBATN TDL expressions as auxiliary data processing entities

Data Model Interface: To define specific data models for the content formats that are not XML based
