    • Development (Any testing defects, logging issues, WAS issue)
    • Test Prep (Interop setup, script updates)
    • Testing (Further end to end testing of Admin GUI & X12, NIST, EHEX)
    • Documentation (Continue with Release 4.4 required documentation tickets)
    • Close completed Release 4.4 User Stories (Direct, Admin GUI, Direct)

  • Prep for Nov. 13th Partner Release 4.4 Demonstration
  • Support for the Federal Agencies Implementations (VA, CMS, DoD, SSA)
  • Support any CMS X12 Testing Activitie

The team completed 43 points this sprint. Release Candidate tag RC1 was created and the team began with installation tests as well as set up the environments for interoperability testing.  Direct test cases using the NIST testing tool were executed successfully validating the CONNECT's implementation leveraging the Direct RI. The team continued to work on release documentation and completed the test plan while making progress on the Release notes and other installation wiki pages.The team completed installation testing and executed validation suite successfully on all the 4 application servers. A few issues related to Admin GUI were discovered which will move to the next sprint and release testing will continue next sprint.The team supported partners like the VA by following up with Healtheway on certification related errors.
