PilotFish Technology is pleased to announce the Automated Interoperability Test Portal. The Portal is a web application where a healthcare organization can publish its interface specifications and provide automated testing, validation and interoperability simulation services to electronic trading partners. Trading partners benefit by having 24/7 access to everything they need to quickly and efficiently configure interfaces and test and validate them prior to deployment.

Bringing on trading partners has been a long and arduous process. Each demands individualized support. All of the documentation, implementation guides and sample files must be gathered up and sent to each trading partner. Then the trading partner builds the interfaces, often from scratch, or by modifying similar interfaces. Next is the long, drawn out process of testing, tweaking, verifying, emailing and endless phone calls and delays – consuming valuable resources on both ends.

PilotFish’s Automated Interoperability Test Portal changes that and represents a totally new paradigm for how organizations bring trading partners online. The Portal provides all of the documentation necessary for the trading partner to quickly build interfaces to the hosting organization. Once the interfaces are built, the Portal supports secure access for automated submission, testing and validation of the interfaces to ensure compliance with the documentation. End-to-end testing of requests and responses is provided allowing the trading partner to simulate production before going “live.” When satisfied with their self-testing, the trading partner contacts the organization’s representative for final integration testing and production deployment.

The Portal provides:

• Access to all the documentation necessary for trading partners to quickly build interfaces–implementation guides, tutorials, sample XML, support contact information and preconfigured interfaces.
• An intuitive, secure, rich web-based GUI for message submission, tracking, validation and review.
• Instant 24/7 availability of automated feedback to trading partners.
• Simulated responses (synchronous and asynchronous) to inbound messages, without human intervention or full test environments.
• Comprehensive, actionable error messages with how to fix a problem, not just that one occurred.
• Trading partner-specific profile management for security and self-service outbound communication configuration.

“By using the Portal, highly coordinated work between an organization and its trading partners is limited to truly implementation-unique discussions,” said Neil Schappert, President of PilotFish Technology. “The Automated Interoperability Test Portal takes 80% of the time and effort of onboarding new trading partners out of the equation. The ROI for an organization is undeniable.”
