Description

The October 2023 Projectathon will be based on the production version of the Once-Only Technical Design Documents.

Previous Projectathons were an opportunity for all parties to learn, make mistakes, to help each other and to assess the status of their respective Once-Only developments. The October event builds on this, adding a focus on assessing production readiness of the Once-Only Technical System components.

Those test cases prepared for the previous Projectathons form the baseline of this event. Ahead of the October 2023 Projectathon, the Commission and participating teams will discuss together how to update existing test cases or add new test cases to best facilitate the assessment of production readiness.

A high-level overview and summary of current test cases is available to the testing and deployment sub-group (restricted access).

The full test cases with detailed step-by-step descriptions will be made accessible later via the Gazelle platform (restricted access).

In addition to the main plenary testing track, this event will allow for some more advanced scenarios to be discussed in dedicated exploration sessions or in a restricted test session between teams interested in such scenarios.

The tests will start with static and pre-agreed data. This is to be discussed in and shared through the relevant Testing and deployment sub-group (restricted access) and/or collaborative space on Teams. Those Member States that want to go further and create custom datasets or dynamic datasets for bilateral tests are invited to do so as well.



The Commission strongly encourages all Member States to participate actively in the last Projectathon, from 18 to 20 October 2023, in Brussels. Registrations will start on 1 September 2023. There will be several preparatory events to ensure proper preparation to this important event. Unlike in the previous events, we don’t expect to have the Observer option at Member State level. Individual team members are of course invited and welcome to come and observe. Given that the legal deadline is approaching, everyone is invited to enroll as an active Participant.

The Commission also encourages Member States to test all infrastructural elements that compose the Once-Only Technical System such as eIDAS Support, eDelivery Access Point, Preview Area, Logging and appropriate handling of Once-Only Technical System metadata. The Once-Only Technical System Support team is available throughout the summer in case Member States need help to find the right resources or a helping-hand to use them.

All Member States are expected to be represented on-site. Physical presence is of the essence for ensuring a successful event. The main focus of the October event is for Member States to assess their production readiness of the Once-Only Technical System components. This event will also be a unique opportunity for Member States not only to test but also to exchange experiences and ideas among colleagues.

How to register for the October Once-Only Technical System Projectathon

  • 1

    The Organising Team invites the National Coordinators register for the Projectathon event via an event registration form (using EU Survey). They share the link to the event registration form with each person joining the Projectathon from their team. It is mandatory for every participant of a Member State to fill in the event registration form (it is a pre-condition for getting access to the Gazelle platform).

  • 2

    The organising Team invites each of the persons registered in EU survey as participants to register in Gazelle. The MS team then identifies the MS Gazelle admin that will encode the organisation and users (team members) in the Gazelle platform (active participants only).

  • 3

    The MS Gazelle admin then select the relevant test session (October 2023) and add your System(s) Under Test (SUT) in the Gazelle platform (active participants only).

Past Projectathons

The Commission is organising three Once-Only Technical System Projectathons in 2023. These are three-day events where national teams will connect various systems and perform a marathon of peer-to-peer interoperability and compliance tests in a structured environment.

Projectathon #1

Past

The April Projectathon brought together participants and observers to perform key tests on their national Once-Only Technical System implementations, ahead of the June and October sessions.

19 - 21 April 2023

Projectathon #2

Past

The June Projectathon provided a valuable moment for national implementation teams to perform interoperability tests prior to the summer recess.

14 - 16 June 2023
