Acceptance testing

Definition tables in dBase® format with test data are available upon request from the NordDRG Administration. The test data is to be used by developer to check their grouper software and to report the grouping results.

The test database contains the correct DRG for each case according to the Nordic reference grouper. The variables in the test database are described in the NordDRG Manual under the section 'The principles of NordDRG' and further under the section 'Test database input format'. Since the file is delivered in standard dBase® format the structure of the file unambiguously indicates the included variables.

The software developer is expected to apply the developed grouper on the test database. The grouping result (new DRG) is added to the original test database as a new column.
