We have developed a library of tools (Chest Imaging Platform) for the processing and the analysis of chest images. The main objective is to make the tools available to the public by providing a common infrastructure that in turn can be incorporated into Slicer by means of the Slicer CIP library. The goals for this week are twofold: 1) set up a software testing framework to improve code quality control, and 2) create a simplified mechanism for downloading and building the CIP and the packages on which it depends.

Use CTest to orchestrate CIP testing
Set up infrastructure / directory structure within CIP to execute one or two initial tests
Explore the use of CDash to display testing results
The CIP depends on several software packages: ITK, VTK, FLTK, Teem, and boost. We will mimic the Super-Build approach taken with Slicer4 to automatically retrieve and build these packages as part of the overall CIP build process

Successfully created testing infrastructure; ran an submitted an initial test to newly created CDash dashboard
We were able to use superbuild to download and build ITK, VTK, teem, and boost. We also got components of the CIP to build, although there are a few remaining issues to iron out.
