Topic: TestScript Resource Execution

Hi,

I've used a sample TestScript that's provided in the example of the FHIR page (https://www.hl7.org/fhir/testscript-example-search.json.html). I've imported this TestScript resource for search parameter in my FHIR HAPI server.

Basically one of the thing this TestScript resource validates is that it should test search using the parameter name PatientSearchFamilyName now, i understand that I cannot search using this parameter unless i create Search Parameter Resource and change the SD. So, currently I'm getting error when I try to search using this PatientSearchFamilyName

But, my question is. I have multiple use-cases like this I wanted to know how to run these TestScript resources in my FHIR server?. I tried using Crucible but it seems like its running its predefined TestScripts on my FHIR server.

Any suggestions or help is much appreciated here.

hapi can't run Testscripts by itself. But you could add Java classes to enable this (I'm currently implementing such a thing for a customer).
If you want to run TestScripts out of the box, the only solution is to go with touchstone

@Patrick Werner thank you Is touchstone paid?

Vibin_chander (Dec 21 2020 at 10:31):

ok from here i feel the touchstone is a paid one

I cannot upload or add a test script and test.

Vibin_chander (Dec 21 2020 at 10:32):

But im curious what kind of testing crucible is doing?. Is it possible to add our own test scripts in crucible and test it against our FHIR server?

Vibin_chander (Dec 21 2020 at 12:02):

@Patrick Werner Can you give me any pointers on where should I begin to enable FHIR execute these test scripts?

would that eventually end up as a PR for the starter project?

Patrick Werner (Dec 21 2020 at 13:42):

mhhh. Nice idea, but my project only uses hapi client classes and consumes TestScript Resources via a custom REST Interface.

Have a look at the inferno project: https://github.com/inferno-community/

Patrick Werner (Dec 21 2020 at 13:43):

Not using the TestScript resource, but the best open-source FHIR testing solution atm

Vibin_chander (Dec 21 2020 at 17:50):

Im trying to run inferno in docker all depencies are fixed but not running and not throwing any errors too

Vibin_chander (Dec 21 2020 at 17:58):

@Patrick Werner if this is what u meant? https://github.com/inferno-community/client-fhir-testing

Vibin_chander (Dec 21 2020 at 17:59):

where we can write our TestScript FHIR resource and Inferno can run it externally?

Vibin_chander (Dec 22 2020 at 05:45):

I dont think the inferno uses the TestScript resources either

Vibin_chander (Dec 22 2020 at 05:45):

I might be wrong. But I think only touchstone is currently using the TestScript resources to validate the FHIR

Patrick Werner (Dec 22 2020 at 12:47):

Yes as i stated in my post, the only solution using TestScript Resources is Touchstone. Inferno uses ruby scripts. I'm personally not the biggest fan of the TestScript Resource and can understand why Mitre choose a script language over the TestScript Resource.
