‘C1/C3 Only’ Testing
■ Users expressed an interest in not requiring products only
certifying for C1 to automatically ingest QRDA Cat I files
■ Products certifying to C1 (and optionally C3) only will not need to
complete ‘Measure tests’ requiring automatic ingest
■ Instead, the products will need to complete a Manual Entry test for all
measures under test.
■ C1 and C3 validations will still be run on all generated QRDA Cat I files
uploaded into Cypress.

‘Errored’ status
■ Some users have experienced test uploads hanging (minute+
validation time).
■ This was caused by errors causing uncaught exceptions in the
validators.
■ An ‘errored’ status has been added to indicate when this has
happened, please report when you observe the errored status using
github.

Code Crosswalk
■ Single measure testing has alleviated most Code Crosswalk
with the Cypress patients.
– However, there are still some instances where codes can
crosswalk between logic statements within the same measure
■ Two new bundles (2015 and 2016) are in development to fix
instances where calculation is impacted by code choice.
