SSCS

Shared Service Comparison Service

Overview

The purpose of this service is to receive and store output from 2 different versions of the Shared Service and then compare that output and report any differences.

The individual Shared Service outputs are submitted to this service separately and then "paired" by a unique identifier, called a comparison set key.

Processing (comparing) is done asynchronously from the call to submit the output. REST endpoints are available for retrieving details about comparisons performed, e.g. differences detected and stats.
