[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/onc-healthit/inferno.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/onc-healthit/inferno)

Inferno is an open source tool that tests whether patients can access their health data through a standard interface.
It makes HTTP(S) requests to test your server's conformance to authentication, authorization, and FHIR content standards and reports the results back to you.

This application creates test clients that exercise the range of requirements of a [SMART on FHIR](http://smarthealthit.org/smart-on-fhir/) server. These clients have tests for the [SMART App Launch Framework](http://www.hl7.org/fhir/smart-app-launch/), [Argonaut](http://hl7.org/fhir/DSTU2/argonaut/argonaut.html) Implementation Guides, and [FHIR DSTU2](http://hl7.org/fhir/DSTU2/index.html).
Inferno is an open source tool for testing data exchanges enabled by the [Fast
Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR)](http://hl7.org/fhir/) standard. This repository
contains the Inferno test tool, as well as the Inferno Community Edition set
of tests which provides server testing for a number of FHIR Implementation
Guides (IGs). Users can either run existing Community Edition tests from this
repository, or author their own tests using Inferno's open testing language.

If you are interested in testing health IT systems for conformance to the ONC
Standarized API for Patient and Population Service (§170.315(g)(10))
criterion, please visit the [Inferno Program Edition repository](https://github.com/onc-healthit/inferno-program). Testing
related to this ONC certification criteria is currently maintained separately.

[The Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT
(ONC)](https://www.healthit.gov) and [MITRE](https://www.mitre.org/) are
developing Inferno with the goal of accelerating adoption of open
standardized health data APIs by providing robust and accessible testing
tools. Inferno is an open source project and welcomes contributions from the
health IT community.

## Inferno Community Edition Tests

The Inferno team is actively developing tests for a number of different
FHIR-enabled use cases. This repository currently contains testing for the
following implementation guides:

* US Core v3.1.1
* SMART App Launch Framework v1.0.0
* International Patient Summary v1.0.0
* FHIR Bulk Data Access (Flat FHIR) v1.0.1 (via integration with BDT)

For end-to-end testing of the ONC Standarized API for Patient and Population
Services criteria, please visit the [Inferno Program
Edition](https://github.com/onc-healthit/inferno-program) repository.
