# Testing Phase with MIMIC
January 15th 2024 - May 13th 2024
## Overview
During the Winter 2024 semester, the first Testing Phase of [MEDomicsLab](https://github.com/MEDomics-UdeS/MEDomicsLab) will take place via a series of tutorials. For an overview of the vision that we have for the platform, please [go here](/medomics-docs/medomicslab-docs-v0/readme.md#an-overview-of-medomicslab).
We would love to have you join the effort and provide feedback during this Testing Phase, prior to a first official release of MEDomicsLab! Our intent is to properly recognize all the participants of the Testing Phase when the first official release will come.
**See the list of participants** [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1w4n2gygstxnrFSzAi1LqGsxgCVYa1Odyb8vl9huu-kU/).
We anticipate that the **participation in the Testing Phase will involve 1 hour of work per week for 17 consecutive weeks, starting January 15, 2024.** We are thinking of involving some mini-challenges with prizes, so this could be fun! Please also note that no programming is involved and that the tutorials can be performed on a laptop.
{% hint style="warning" %}
The participation in the Testing Phase require [MIMIC data access](/medomics-docs/medomicslab-docs-v0/test-with-mimic/mimic-data-access.md).
{% endhint %}
Please note that an **Information Session** about the Testing Phase was held on December 15, 2023. You can find the recording of the session below :

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://medomicslab.gitbook.io/medomics-docs/medomicslab-docs-v0/test-with-mimic.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
