Implementation and integration

This section explains how to integrate systems with the service and make it available for use.

It covers the main approaches, components and activities involved in connecting to the service, exchanging information and supporting live use.

The exact approach will depend on your role, the systems you use and your intended use case.

Implementing this service typically involves:

• integrating systems with the service
• connecting systems to required components
• configuring how data is requested, exchanged or updated
• testing interactions between systems
• making the service available for live use

Systems integrate with the service through defined interfaces and standards that determine how requests and responses are structured and exchanged.

The integration approach will depend on:

• your system architecture
• the capabilities you are using
• how your system interacts with other services

Implementation may involve working across different environments, such as:

• development and testing environments
• assurance or pre-production environments
• live production environments

Systems are configured appropriately for each environment before live use.

Before going live, systems must be tested to ensure they:

• interact correctly with the service
• handle data appropriately
• meet required standards and performance expectations

Testing and assurance requirements will depend on the service and use case.

Once integration and testing are complete, the service can be made available for live use.

This may involve enabling functionality within systems, making it available to users, and monitoring initial usage.

Detailed technical guidance, information on APIs and integration support are available through the API catalogue and developer resources. You can use these resources to begin integrating and testing the service.
