Capability Statement

Test Systems can declare what interactions, operations, and resources they support in the Capability Statement. These declarations are used:

– to inform the end-user of the interactions that are unsupported by the test system during test execution.

– to conditionally evaluate test result assertions during test execution.

– to measure conformance of test systems against the specification. These measurements feed the Conformance Results.

– in Test Result Publishing.

Touchstone uses the Base URL of your test system to download the Capability Statement. If the Base URL is https://testsystem1.initech34.com/fhir, then Touchstone will make a GET request to: https://testsystem1.initech34.com/fhir/metadata using the appropriate Accept header. Refer to the capabilities section for more details. A Capability Statement can also be uploaded to Touchstone when editing a Test System.

Note

Test Systems that are HL7-V2 or HL7-V3 do not use a Capability Statement, so those Test Systems will not have the option to download or upload the Capability Statement.
