ProjectatonsWhat is a Projectathon
A Projectathon is an event where different systems connect under one roof and perform a marathon of peer-to-peer interoperability and compliance tests in a structured environment for several days. The tests are supervised and verified by neutral experts acting as Monitors.
Benefits of participating in a Projectathon
It is crucial to the development, testing and deployment into production of the Once-Only Technical System components.
- An excellent opportunity to verify that your systems or solutions effectively comply with the appropriate specifications.
- Promote and increase the visibility of the status and readiness of your organisation or Member State before the go-live of the Once-Only Technical System.
- Perform peer testing with real systems using real-world scenarios and detect an error as soon as possible to reduces the cost of implementing and re-testing a fix.
- Your participation helps to improve and assess the proper functioning of the Technical Design Documents (TDDs) of the One-Only Technical System.
- Meet relevant experts in the field to share and exchange views, experience, and best practices.
- Participate in Projectathon as observers and get ready for the next Projectathon by getting in direct contact with active participants.
