Objectives:

The PTS is leading the IDC SHI Reengineering project since 2014 with the goal of creating modernized, open-source software for SHI processing, and improving maintainability and extensibility to the system. Starting 2019, the project entered the Implementation phase and is currently under active development.

The aim of this Alpha Tester Group (ATG) is to enhance the engagement of the NDC community towards the IDC Reengineering project. It allows low-barrier access for State Signatories and NDCs to the current state of the reengineered system.

The role of the ATG participants is to validate the results of the system and provide feedback to the system design and usability.

Current ATG activities are planned for biennial 2022-2023. Participants already selected in 2022 for this biennial do not need to reapply. New candidates will be accepted to fill open positions in 2023.

The objectives of the Technical Meetings prior to a testing session are to:

present the scope of the testing session,
provide the status of development,
guide the testers on the discovery of the newly developed features,
enable ATG members to run testing scripts and adapt them to different test cases.

The ATG project is funded by the European Union in the context of the EU Council Decision (CFSP) 2020/901 of 29 June 2020.
