Please confirm. 2. In section 2.3 it is mentioned that the tenderer will make minor and major changes (point 9) to the test cases. The contracting authority is responsible for the management of the changes procedures in the test cases and the end result will be delivered to the tenderer to revise/update the testing platform. Please confirm. Concerning major changes what is the acceptable effort calculation for each major change? 4 hours are mentioned for minor changes, is 2 working days acceptable for major changes? 3. In section 2.3 point 7, it is mentioned that the tenderer will maintain an online tool for managing computable versions of the CDA documents. Please confirm that change management governance of the CDA specifications is the responsibility of the contracting authority.

1. Yes. 2. Yes. The contacting authority is responsible for the change procedure. For the minor we have indicated under 4 hours. For major it is more than that. We have not indicated what is the maximum time. But if a change requires more work than doing a new test case, then a new test case should be created rather than major change. 3. Yes. The contracting authority is responsible of the change management process. 4. A non-binding estimation is that the maximum number of participating nations is 20 and the minimum is 4. On average we could expect 12 nations. Each nation could have maximum two participants in the testing event.
