Interoperable Inviwo

Within this project, we plan to enable the interoperable extension of the Inviwo visualization software. The main pillar of our strategy is to lower the barrier for users and developers to create and distribute own Inviwo extensions. Therefore, we will ease the development of own functionalities and establish together with the Communication and Information Centre a system for distributing these functionalities to others. Thus, in contrast to modern source code version management systems, also non-programmers will be able to distribute their creations and thus directly extend the software. To fulfill the quality assurance requirements which emerge from such an approach, we will further realize and establish automated testing procedures.
