Commissioned Software Developer Support

Please note: the term 'Managed Programme' (MP) has been deprecated; where possible, please ensure all references are replaced with 'Commissioned Software' (CS).

This resource is intended to support the development of Commissioned Software products designed to follow the Commissioned Software Integration Specification. It is supported in software by the Commissioned Software Build Process release, which enables Commissioned Software releases to be built from source.

The Commissioned Software Integration Specification

The Commissioned Software Integration Specification describes how developers can package their software into a form that can integrate with the OMII-UK build process and server/client installers. It also briefly outlines the process of product submission, evaluation, quality assurance and integration as part of OMII-UK, and where the developer fits into that process.

The Commissioned Software Build Process and Test Service

The Commissioned Software Build Process and Test Service is the build process used by OMII-UK when building quality accepted developer products from source. Included is an example test service and client which demonstrates the build process in action, and exemplifies how a typical product is packaged that follows the Commissioned Software Integration Specification.
