Description
The June 2023 Projectathon will be based on the Q1 2023 release of the Once-Only Technical Design Documents as amended with any corrections from the errata list.
For this event, the test cases prepared for the April 2023 Projectathon are largely taken over as it still reflects the main plans of the Member States. It consists of the following elements:
- 5 Evidence Exchange scenarios without preview,
- 5 Evidence Exchange scenarios with preview,
- 2 Maintenance flow scenarios (Common Service updates).
A high-level overview and summary of test cases is available to the testing and deployment sub-group (restricted to relevant users on the wiki).
The full test cases are accessible via the Gazelle platform (restricted to users that registered as participants to the Projectathon).
In addition, the June Projectathon will allow for some more advanced scenarios to be discussed in exploration sessions or in a restricted test session between those teams that are ready for the next level of tests (e.g. more dynamic eID test cases by integrating eID nodes into the transactions, test cases covering related systems, e.g., adding actual Base Registries to the test cases).
The tests will start with static and pre-agreed data. This is to be discussed in and shared through the relevant subgroup (Testing and deployment) and/or collaborative space on Teams.
Those Member States that want to go further and create custom datasets or dynamic datasets for bilateral tests can do so as well.

How to register for the June 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 (June 2023) and add your System(s) Under Test (SUT) in the Gazelle platform (active participants only).
Past & Upcoming Projectathons
Since 2023, the Commission has been organising Once-Only Technical System Projectathons. These are three-day events where national teams connect various systems and perform a marathon of peer-to-peer interoperability and compliance tests in a structured environment.
