2012 Summer Project Week:EditorExtensions

• 

  Projects List

Key Investigators

• Isomics: Steve Pieper
• GI: Jim Miller

Objective

Provide a framework for Streered Segmentation in the Editor Module.

Approach, Plan

The goal at project week is to discuss these issues and formulate a standard plan that can be used by all slicer developers.

Some desirable features of a solution:

• easy for developers to write tests that capture the full workflow
  • distribution of tests as extensions as part of the debugging and support process
  • integration with QtTesting framework to define tests 'by doing'
• same tests should be available in CTest and BIST (ideally this will happen automatically)
• interface features:
  • should allow selection of all tests or a subset of tests
  • should allow running in a loop
  • should present a summary of success/failure
• (possible feature) dialog when slicer first installs that suggests running the tests
• (possible feature) integration of performance testing (e.g. render speed)
• (possible feature) integration with CDash so users can submit test results

Progress

• a prototype implementation as a scripted module is being developed using a factory-style mechanism where modules can register self-tests with slicer that will then be optionally run as part of the self-testing process. Prototype scripted module
• The issue is being tracked as a feature request in mantis
• Example of a test
