CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA)
The draft CWA was endorsed on December 16, by 12 organizations. The offical CEN Workshop Agreement (CWA) will be published in January/February 2012. If you want to support the future work of GITB, please contact our project secretary and send him your statement of interest.

Webinars
Several Webinars have been held to explain the GITB testing framework and its application in public procurement, automotive supply chains and e-health. The presentations and recordings are available for download:
GITB-A
Global eBusiness Interoperability Test Bed Methodologies (GITB) - Testing Framework, Architecture and Demonstration
GITB-B
Introduction to Global eBusiness Interoperability Test Bed Methodologies (GITB) in Public Procurement
GITB-C
Introduction to Global eBusiness Interoperability Test Bed Methodologies (GITB) in the Automotive Industry
The GITB project
While eBusiness scenarios are more widely adopted, interoperability has become a major concern. More advanced testing methodologies and test beds are needed to support conformance and interoperability testing of comprehensive eBusiness specifications and their implementation by software vendors and end-users. The Global eBusiness Interoperability Test Bed initiative (GITB) develops methodologies and architectures that support e-business standards assessment and testing activities, from early stages of eBusiness standards development to implementation and deployment of large-scale eBusiness solutions. GITB is hosted by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and supported by European, North American and Asian partners, such as NIST, KorBIT, OASIS, OAGI and industry associations, such as AIAG (Automotive Industry Action Group).
GITB's long-term objective is to establish a shared and global testing platform which allows for plug-in testing capabilities (such as test suites, specialized validation components, message adapters, etc.). These testing capabilities can be supported by existing Test Beds, by remote services or by future test components to be developed. In order to capture e-business testing requirements and validate the approach, GITB closely works with user communities in eHealth (HL7), automotive (long-distance supply chains) and public procurement (PEPPOL).
