We’ve reached the final stage in developing the LAP template — the instant creation of perfectly formatted PDFs for the factual accuracy process. These PDFs are crucial, as they’ll be sent to providers for review. To ensure these documents are professional, consistent and accessible, Inspector365 utilises PrinceXML, a powerful tool bundled in the core assessment platform.
About PrinceXML
PrinceXML is a robust tool that transforms HTML documents into high-quality PDFs. It ensures that our LAP reports are concise, easy to read and accurate. PrinceXML conforms to ISO 14289, (the International Standard for accessible PDF technology) that can be used by people with assistive technologies.
PDF Layout
The layout of the PDF differs slightly from the online version of the LAP, but this was designed intentionally to enhance readability. The overall ratings for the location and key questions are brought to the top of the report, giving readers an immediate overview. Each ASG begins on its own section, allowing for clearer organisation.
As we recognise that some reports may be quite extensive, we’ve introduced a repeating section header at the top of each page. This header shows the reader exactly which section they’re on, helping to prevent disorientation and ensure smooth navigation through the report. Additionally, we’ve included the location name, LAP ID, and page numbers in the footer for easy reference.
A detailed table of contents will be added to the PDF in the future to further enhance user experience.
Testing: Functional, Accessibility, and Integration
With the application now fully complete, we’ve entered the testing phase — including functional, accessibility, and integration testing. Initial tests have shown no functional defects, with only minor labelling tweaks needed (which have already been addressed and deployed).
Integration testing, which focuses on ensuring the integrity of the data sent from Inspector365 to the Regulatory platform, is ongoing. So far, no issues have been found, and we’re confident we’ll meet all proposed deadlines.
User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
The LAP template has now been handed over to a CQC test team for final User Acceptance Testing (UAT). After several days of testing, no bugs have been reported yet.
What's next?
Next week, we’ll wrap up all remaining testing, and, pending any defects reported by the CQC team, we’ll consider the first phase of our LAP work complete. At that point, the template will be production-ready from our perspective.
