Background

A good starting point to get a bit of an background on the architecture are the following sections.

• IVCT Module Overview

• IVCT Information Model (draft for discussion)

• Linking Interoperability Badges with Test Suites

• Terminology

Building the software

If you plan do build the software by yourself, the following sections will give you an overview on tools and the development environment.

• The IVCTool Software Build Environment

• Prerequisites for participating in IVCT_Framework development

• Guidelines for branching and merging

• Building the IVCT_Framework with gradle

• Continuous Integration with Github Actions

• Using the framework with a 3rd-party RTI Implementation

• Configuration of the IVCTool

Building the Software / Creating Docker Images

The primary deployment typ for the IVCTool is the containerization with docker images. Building is done by using the Gradle build system. The underlying concept and configurations are explained below.

• Project Structure and Dependencies

• Building Docker images for IVCT Framework Components

Running the tools

To use the IVCTool there are two types of interfaces available, a web-based and a commandline-based UI. These are described below, as well as some background on reading log files and the available test suite.

• Setup the JMS broker

• The command line interface

• Reading and understanding Test Case logfiles

Extending the framework

Finally there are some guidelines on writing test cases and considerations for future enhancements.

• Test case logging
