Introduction
Welcome to the 'Interoperability Test Bed: Conformance Testing for Managers' course!
The purpose of the course is twofold. Firstly, it was designed to equip project managers across a range of organisations such as national public administrations, international organisations and NGOs, with the knowledge and skills necessary to implement conformance and interoperability systems testing for semantic and technical aspects using the Interoperability Test Bed. Secondly, it was designed to show managers how to put in place appropriate tools and resources.
The Interoperability Test Bed is a service offered by the European Commission’s DIGIT to facilitate the conformance testing of IT systems. The Test Bed is itself a software system that can be both downloaded and installed locally, but also reused through a shared online installation operated by DIGIT. It offers an intuitive web user interface that allows administrators to define their project’s overall testing setup as well as users to connect and run tests.
