What is an IHE Connectathon? All organizations have a test process before they release a product (software or hardware) – University research lab: Did it compile? Ship it. – Two guys and a PC: Earl, I tested with IE 8. Ship it. – ISO 9001 compliant organizations: Formalized quality control process before delivery

Testing Software Per IHE Specifications Vendors want standalone tools to validate in their laboratory Vendors want to meet in person or over the Internet to test against each other

Connectathon A publicized point in time Software testing organized by IHE sponsors as neutral observers Participants test – Against some tools for detailed work – Against other participants

Testing With Multiple Partners Test only against a test suite – Not enough Test against a single partner – Maybe we both made the same mistake Test against three partners – Not a guarantee of operation in the field, but – More confidence your application will work with other applications
