Interoperability Test Bed software 1.25.0 Switch to the latest release
Published on: 31/01/2025
Release 1.25.0 of the Interoperability Test Bed software is now available.
This release focuses primarily on the Test Bed’s test engine and the capabilities of the GITB Test Description Language (TDL). It is now simpler to manage the behaviour and presentation of sets of steps, as well as to apply fine-grained failure management. This is complemented by new features to better convey feedback on test steps’ progress and the overall test outcome. Furthermore, it is now possible to define test case groups, whereby only one successful result within a group is needed, towards considering the overall group as successfully completed.
Besides extensions to the test engine, the Test Bed’s user interface comes with new features to further facilitate community customisation. Triggers, the Test Bed’s equivalent to web hooks, can now be configured with firing expressions to control precisely when they should activate. Test case groups are now presented on the interface, and the administrator’s view of test suites is adapted to match precisely the end result viewed by testers. Finally, PDF report customisation is enhanced with new values available for inclusion in custom cover pages, complemented by simpler report previewing.
This new release 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 release, please follow the Test Bed's update guide.
