CAS Testing

Programs configure their questions for the next cycle in the Liaison prelaunch environment. Once the general CAS questions (that is, the items in sections 1-3) have been certified/approved/whatever they do by the relevant professional association, it is possible to create test application and submit it. These are detailed notes with screenshots about the process to do that; the example is in Vet, but the process is similar across all CASes.

Upon login to the prelaunch environment (WebAdMIT > Login), enter the CAS Configuration Portal

This opens in a new window:

Once the application has been started and the TEST version of the program has been selected, application data can be retrieved via Postman.

 Instructions for retrieving the data

• GET applications list endpoint to find the application ID

• use that in the GET individual application end point

• export to text

• use Get Data in Excel to convert to .csv
