Most of the changes we are bringing to Gazelle Test Management are driven by the experience from past years. Gazelle Test Management was first designed to address the Connectathon process but it is now used for a broader types of test sessions: Connectathon, Projectathon, Conformity assessment among others. The leitmotiv in our renovation work is thus to get rid of the Connectathon specific wording and fall back to more standard testing vocabulary.
In the same way, all the test sessions are handled more on less the same way, with 4 main phases: Registration, Preparation, Testing, and Evaluation. This finding leads us to organise the tool for the user to easily find the features of interest in a given phase.
Beside bug fixes, this release introduces new content on the home page for the testing session manager and tool administrators. Actually, the Registration and Preparation phases are now populate for those users.
As a testing session manager or tool administrator, for each testing session, you will find,
In addition, this release introduces a new feature call "Testing session scope" and available under the Testing menu.
This section lists all the Profiles which are selected for the testing session and, for each actors of a given profile, the SUTs that claim support to it. Testing session manager are allowed to give a status to each Profile: Testable, Few partners, or Dropped as well as to enter a comment.
The testing session participants (users with role vendor, vendor_admin, or monitor) are allowed to see the status of the profile, and the list of SUTs per actor.

This release comes with statistics for the testing session managers and tool administrator users. Only the testing and evaluation phase displays data.
The testing session managers and tool administrators can now have quick access to PKI about the testing session.
During the testing phase, the following informations are displayed:
During the evaluation phase, for each domain, the number of SUT AIPOs to be evaluated and what their statuses are, as well as the total number of test runs and their final statuses.
Statistics about test execution and system evaluation are displayed to the user.
For continuous testing session or during the testing phase of an event, the user logs with vendor or vendor_admin roles see statistics for each of the systems of their organisation that have been accepted to the event.
During the evaluation phase of an event, the user logs with vendor or vendor_admin roles see statistics about the evaluation of their systems under test.
This new release of Gazelle Test Management:
Allows you to quickly see the status of your network configuration [Read more];
Offers a new user interface for the testing dashboard [Read more].
Gazelle Test Management offers a feature for the systems under test to share the connectivity details of their network interfaces. Templates are generated by the tool based on the capabilities selected for each of your systems under test.
Before the testing event starts, you are expected to review those network interfaces and make sure the details match your implementation:
When you are logged in as vendor or vendor_admin, and at least one of your systems under test is accepted to the session, the home page displays information about the Preparation phase, including details about the network.
For each systems under test that has been accepted, a progress bar shows you how many network interfaces have been approved and how many still need some review from you.
Although the principle of the test execution page remains the same, the layout has been deeply reviewed with the objective to lighten and clarify that page. We hope you will enjoy using it.

This version of Gazelle Test Management can be integrated with KeyCloack as a identification provider. It allows users to log into third-party tools using their Gazelle's credentials.
This version of Gazelle Test Management comes with a module to communicate with rocket.chat, it allows:
Test session managers can now create test session with no registration deadline, nor start and end dates. It will be more convenient than setting up dates far in the future. In such Continuous test sessions, participants can add and edit systems under test at any time.
When participants logs into Gazelle Test Management with role vendor or vendor_admin, they will now see a new section on the home page. This section indicates which phase is ongoing: registration, preparation, testing, or evaluation and gives shortcuts to the features of interest in the given phase.
In a next release, this section will be enriched with indicators about the progress of the Progress, Testing, and Evaluation for each accepted system under test.
On the test execution page, the type of test is now displayed for each test. For the IHE Connectathon* 2022, it has been chosen to get rid of the Pre-Connectathon feature and rather use the Test execution page. When you access your test plan (Testing > Test execution), you will see the Preparatory-test, they are the tests you are expected to execute before the event starts.
That is to say that you will now use the test instance page to report results about a Preparatory (Pre-Connectathon) test.
You still have the ability to request to test as "supportive", rules remain unchanged. This feature is now called Testing depth.
The whole menu bar has been reorganised for all the users.
The home page is now fully editable. No more generated content you do not want to disclose to the users. The tool administrator can input his own content.
A placeholder for the documentation has been added to the home page. It will allow the event organizers to gather all the resources in one place.
In the same way, you will notice a new "Tool index" section on the home page and on all pages in the Gazelle Test Management tools. It gathers all the useful pointers to the test tools of interest for the participants. This section is as well editable by the tool administrator.
For users with role vendor or vendor owner, the page accessible from the Registration menu gathers three pages from the "old" Gazelle: Manage systems (now Participating systems under test), Test session participants (now Event attendees), Financial summary (now Fees and Contracts). In this first version, the edition of those objects is still performed using the old page.
The main changes to be brought in the coming months:
