To ensure that the terminology is compliant with SNOMED CT Technical specifications it's necessary to run periodic Quality Assurance Tests (QA). Many defects can be detected during editing, alerting the user about errors and preventing save actions. Batch QA Tests Runs that sweep the whole terminology to detect errors are still necessary, as errors can be imported from previous releases, or can be caused by complex interactions between different components that cannot be tested in real time during each save.

QA Tests results are updated after each run and are displayed in the QA Results tab:
The results Only positive results are displayed and they are grouped by "Test Suite" and by Rule. A brief description is provided below:

- Concept Designation test suite groups all the rules that detect defects on the concept descriptions and languages representation
No active synonym should end with parenthesis. This is a warning, as active synonyms may end with parenthesis, however, this rule has been included to detect synonyms with semantic tags
- Active Terms of active concepts parentheses should be balanced. Means that whenever there is an opening parenthesis, a closing parenthesis must be included, too:
