Kepa and others,
Can you help with the following:
The compliance date to begin testing is April 16, 2003.  
We are currently starting a test procedure with one of our partners.
1. Does this testing mean each of the transactions must begin to be
tested or one transaction is sufficient?
2. Does this comply with the regulations as far as testing?
3. What kind of documentation should be kept to prove the testing has
started?

Thanks for any clarification on Testing.

David,

There are two answers.

Testing data is short lived.  You test, correct the problems, test
again, 
correct the problems, repeat the cycle until you converge in a
solution.  The 
data can be thrown away after each test.

Data used for certification is a permanent record.  As such, Claredi
archives 
it  off line, so if we ever need to go back and see what were your
exact 
capabilities that you were certified for at a point in time, we can do
that.

The certified entity should probably do the same sort of long term
archival.

Keep in mind that the certification is not just a yes/no, but the
specific 
capabilities represented in the data are the most important aspect of
the 
certification.  Your certified capabilities could change with time, as
you 
deploy new specialties, for example.
