In March 2025, two Nictiz repositories advanced testing readiness, data integrity, and documentation quality, laying groundwork for safer alpha releases and maintainable test scripts. Key features delivered include Conformance Lab readiness for PractitionerRole resources, enabling accurate testing in the Conformancelab environment; and TestScript naming improvements with step-numbered identifiers for clearer reporting and traceability. Major bugs fixed involve restoring the original folder structure across standards (including Geboortezorg 2) to prevent build and navigation issues, and removing development materials ahead of the stable alpha release to reduce risk. In Nictiz-R4-zib2020, the LivingWillDocument mapping was corrected to point mapping data to Consent.sourceAttachment, improving data integrity in FHIR contexts. Documentation, QA, and tooling updates for zib profiles and examples were implemented to reduce tooling noise, improve guidance, and strengthen validation status rigour. Collectively, these changes improve business value by accelerating safe release cycles, enhancing data quality, and increasing maintainability and visibility of test assets and profiles.

February 2025 was marked by deliberate standardization and release-readiness across Nictiz-testscripts and Nictiz-R4-zib2020. Major deliveries include a common PHR search component and migration of existing tests to use it, a refreshed Geboortezorg certificate materials workflow with regeneration and patch-release prep for MP 9.0.7, and strengthened PHR search fidelity with MedMij-Request-ID and BSN checks. In addition, test tooling and build processes were hardened (WildFHIR references updated to the test-simulator server, removal of Firely Terminal dependencies, and build-property/patchlevel updates) and repo integrity requirements adapted to the new structure. These efforts reduce maintenance cost, improve test reliability, and accelerate compliant release cycles.
