7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein validating the declared capability statement of the FHIR server based on the generated capability statement and the declared capability statement comprises:

determining, by the one or more processors, whether the declared capability statement matches the generated capability statement; and

determining, by the one or more processors, whether search functionality of the declared capability statement is correctly declared based on determining whether the declared capability statement matches the generated capability statement.

8 . A method for conformance testing of a Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) server, the method comprising:

determining, by one or more processors, resources defined by a FHIR standard, search parameters of the resources, and search variations of the search parameters of the resources by analyzing information related to the FHIR standard;

generating, by the one or more processors, a test script, including a query for a resource stored by the FHIR server using a search value of a search parameter of the resource and using a search variation of a type of the search parameter based on determining the resources defined by the FHIR standard, the search parameters of the resources, and the search variations of the search parameters of the resources;

executing, by the one or more processors, the test script in association with the FHIR server;

generating, by the one or more processors, a capability statement for the FHIR server based on executing the test script;

validating, by the one or more processors and using an artificial intelligence (AI) model, a declared capability statement of the FHIR server based on the generated capability statement and the declared capability statement; and

displaying, by the one or more processors, a validation result based on validating the declared capability statement of the FHIR server,
