GIGS, open-source geodetic testing to verify your spatial data and applications
summary
GIGS is an open source verification toolkit (v2.0) that runs 10,000 test points and 200-question checklists against geodetic engines and spatial applications, producing automated PDF reports and a basic/intermediate/advanced score. Test data ships in plain ASCII and P-files, integrates with Java/JUnit or the GeoAPI, and links to EPSG/OGC standards. Results remain encrypted and private on GitHub, and the framework is designed for automated unit and integration testing.
