• IHE started 1998– Users and vendors joining forces to
improve interoperability– Started from Radiology
• Testing Tools (MESA) – Benefit to participants

MESA ToolsMESA Tools
• Developed by MIR (Steve Moore)
• Set of perl scripts and C++ applications
• Database: PostgreSQL and SQL Server
• Test S.U.T for conformance with TF
• Distribution package for – Win32, Linux, (Sun in the past)
• Yearly cycle – Include new written profile

Kudu ToolKudu Tool
• Developed in Rennes (Eric Poiseau)
• Started in 2002 with Paris C.A.T
• Web based Testing Management tool – Registration– Pre-Connectathon testing– Connectathon testing
• Does not interact with S.U.T !

ProblemsProblems
• IHE is growing – 10 domains– 75 integration profiles– 101 actors
• Increasing number of used standards• Demand for testing tools increases
– Companies, Users, Government…
Kudu and MESA need to scale up

Gazelle = MESA + KuduGazelle = MESA + Kudu
• Proposal to combine MESA and Kudu
• 2nd generation of tool– Avoid 1st generation design errors– Target more use cases– Allow scalability
• More developers– Better software, better coverage– Improved support

• More than one system can be tested at the same time– One S.U.T, many simulators (~mesa)– Many S.U.T, no simulators (~kudu)
• S.U.T management– Web application to provide instruction
