SMART App Launch Test Kit

The SMART App Launch Test Kit validates the conformance of authorization server implementations and clients that interact with them to a specified version of the SMART Application Launch Framework Implementation Guide. This Test Kit also provides Brand Bundle Publisher testing for the User-access Brands and Endpoints specification. This Test Kit supports following versions of the SMART App Launch IG: STU1, STU2, and STU2.2.

This Test Kit is open source and freely available for use or adoption by the health IT community including EHR vendors, health app developers, and testing labs. It is built using the Inferno Framework. The Inferno Framework is designed for reuse and aims to make it easier to build test kits for any FHIR-based data exchange.

To run tests for a SMART App Launch authorization server, select one of the “SMART App Launch” suites. To run tests for a SMART App Launch or backend services client, select the “SMART App Launch STU2.2 Client” suite and choose the type of client. To run tests for a Brand Bundle Publisher, select the “SMART User-access Brands and Endpoints” suite.

Status

The SMART App Launch Test Kit provides five suites that verify that systems correctly implement different aspects and versions of the SMART App Launch IG.

• Three server suites (SMART App Launch STU1, STU2, and STU2.2) verifying that SMART server implementations can provide authorization and/or authentication services to client applications accessing HL7 FHIR APIs. Thes
  • Standalone Launch
  • EHR Launch
  • Backend Services (STU2 and STU2.2 only)
  • Token Introspection (STU2 and STU2.2 only)
• A client suite (SMART App Launch STU2.2 Client) verifying that a SMART STU2.2 client can obtain and use an access token using the SMART flows and authentication options.
• A suite verifying a server’s compliance with the User-access Brands and Endpoints specification.

See the test descriptions within the test kit for detail on the specific validations performed as part of testing these requirements.

Providing Feedback and Reporting Issues

We welcome feedback on the tests, including but not limited to the following areas:

• Validation logic, such as potential bugs, lax checks, and unexpected failures.
• Requirements coverage, such as requirements that have been missed, tests that necessitate features that the IG does not require, or other issues with the interpretation of the IG’s requirements.
• User experience, such as confusing or missing information in the test UI.

Please report any issues with this set of tests in the issues section of the repository.
