Topic: Create Update workflows

I know that inferno is specifically designed for Read/Search flows and tests the responses against US Core specs. Is there a way if we take this further and have some kind of validation for Create/Update workflows?
Robert Scanlon (Apr 06 2021 at 14:25):
Yes, though you would have to write your own tests. See https://github.com/onc-healthit/inferno/wiki/Extending-Inferno

It is a bit involved, but we are working on improving this part of Inferno now.

Is this in the context of an implementation guide?

Thanks @Robert Scanlon . We are primarily trying to have inferno community edition as a comprehensive validation tool which along with US Core specs should also validate the base/custom specs that our FHIR server implements.
And we know how to add custom tests for a given sequence file. However we were looking for extending this beyond Read/Search and see if this can be helpful for CREATE/UPDATE as well. I see the main challenge of having a post body being required for a given test. Currently is there any support for such a use case?

Thanks @ashoka p posting this, extending inferno for create/update will definitely help, looking forward to get reply on this post, @Robert Scanlon let us know if you have timeline or suggestion to extend.
