This page presents a short introduction to the test tool called “TouchStone”, which is used to perform tests of MedCom FHIR standards. The introduction is based on Touchstone’s own guides and is divided into three sections: The first section explains how to register on Touchstone, the second section describes how to run a test script, while the third section explains how to execute test scripts in a conformance suite.
