Interoperability Test Bed software 1.20.0 Switch to the latest release

Version 1.20.0 of the Interoperability Test Bed software, based on the GITB CWA specifications, is now released.

This release focuses fully on the Test Bed’s user interface and specifically enhancing its reporting capabilities. The PDF reports produced by the Test Bed have been fully redesigned making them more intuitive, and enriching them with supporting information such as extended documentation, test session log output, test coverage ratios and step result overviews. In addition, new options were introduced for community administrators to customise reports, and to facilitate the management and maintenance of test suite documentation. Finally, this release provided an opportunity to resolve reported bugs and to apply precautionary security patches to the Test Bed’s underlying third party software libraries.

This new version is online in the Interoperability Test Bed service hosted by DIGIT but is also available for you to set up as a standalone instance. If a standalone instance best matches your needs, the following supporting resources are available:

• The Test Bed's installation guide (for development and production use).
• The Test Bed's user guide.
• The source code of the Test Bed software.
• The EUPL-based licence attached to the direct use of the source code.

If you are updating from a previous version, please follow the Test Bed's update guide.
