3.       Review: content of certification (will appear on website & certificates)

                                                           iv.      Integrate into your environment

1.       Recommend acquiring at least the open source version of soapUI (since this is the tool used in the Springboard Test Harness)

2.       The proprietary version could be useful for developing one’s own customized tests or reports

                                                             ii.      Must pass all tests (GREEN) to claim conformance to a particular MDE / Case Type pair

                                                            iii.      The other soapUI structure will be for the other 9 optional transaction and all other options within the ECF specification (MAY and SHALL)

1.       When a participant runs this test suite, it may fail some tests (RED) yet still be able to claim conformance against any passed tests (GREEN)
