Project Description

Objective

• 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.

Approach, Plan

Progress

• 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
