Introduction

Slicer has adopted MIDAS to store testing and algorithm validation dataset. For this purpose, we have created a dedicated NA-MIC MIDAS community

In the NA-MIC community Slicer/Data folder, you will find:

• Application
• Modules

To organize the test data based on Slicer major release, you will find sub folders like:

• Nightly
• 4.2
• 4.3

Each time a release of Slicer is done, for both the Application and Modules/<ModuleName> folders, the current Nightly is copied into an X.Y folders where X and Y corresponds to the major and minor release number of Slicer.

Test data are expected to be stored in folders like:

• Nightly/Testing/Baseline
• Nightly/Testing/Input
• X.Y/Testing/Baseline
• X.Y/Testing/Input

where

• Input: Used to store testing input data.
• Baseline: Used to store the baseline images for regression tests.

Upload test data

1. Send an email on the developer list asking to be added to the DataManager group on NA-MIC community. That will grant you read/write permissions to the Data folder and sub-folders.
2. Create a sub folder for your Module.
3. Create a Nightly sub-folder.
4. Upload data in folders Nightly/Testing/Baseline and Nightly/Testing/Input
