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

Test data are expected to be stored in folders like:

• Data/Application/Nightly/Testing/Baseline
• Data/Application/Nightly/Testing/Input
• Data/Modules/<NameOfYourModule>/Nightly/Testing/Baseline
• Data/Modules/<NameOfYourModule>/Nightly/Testing/Input

• Data/Application/X.Y/Testing/Baseline
• Data/Application/X.Y/Testing/Input
• Data/Modules/<NameOfYourModule>/X.Y/Testing/Baseline
• Data/Modules/<NameOfYourModule>/X.Y/Testing/Input

where

• <NameOfYourModule>: name of the folder in the source repository, it should also match the module pages created on the slicer wiki.
• Input: Used to store testing input data.
• Baseline: Used to store the baseline images for regression tests.

Each time a release of Slicer is done, for both the Application and Modules/<NameOfYourModule> 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.

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
