semantic technologies to offer a next-generation end-user centred web
application mashup platform aimed at allowing end users without programming
skills to easily create web applications and dashboards/cockpits (e.g. to
visualize their data of interest or to control their domotized home or
environment). Web application mashups integrate heterogeneous data, application
logic, and UI components (widgets) sourced from the Web to create new coherent
and value-adding composite applications. They are targeted at leveraging the
"long tail" of the Web of Services (a.k.a. the Programmable Web) by exploiting
rapid development, DIY, and shareability. They typically serve a specific
situational (i.e. immediate, short-lived, customized) need, frequently with high
potential for reuse. Is this "situational" character which precludes them to be
offered as 'off-the-shelf' functionality by solution providers, and therefore
creates the need for a tool like WireCloud.This project is part ofFIWARE. For more information

Users use the platform
to build and/or use their interfaces using deployed widgets and developers, whereas developers do
create such components by extending existing ones or creating them from scratch.In the former, final users can find useful information in theUser Guide. In the latter,
developers can learn how to develop components in theProgrammer GuideBugs and feature requestsHave a bug or a feature request? Please first read theissue guidelinesand search for
existing and closed issues. If your problem or idea is not addressed yet,please open a new issue.Quality AssuranceThis project is part ofFIWAREand has been rated as
follows:Version Tested:Documentation:Responsiveness:FIWARE Testing:TestingTesting of WireCloud is based on two different frameworks. On the one side, Python code is being
tested using Django's own testing capabilities. On the other side, JavaScript code testing is based
on Karma and Jasmine. Both tests are run on a local copy of theWireCloud repository on GitHub, inside
thesrcfolder.Python codeBefore running the tests, you have to ensure all the python dependencies are
installed on the environment. To do so, execute the following commands on thesrcfolder:$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ pip install -r requirements-dev.txtOnce installed all the dependencies, you can run the Python tests by using the
following command:$ python manage.py test --nologcapture -v 2 -a tags='wirecloud-noselenium'WireCloud also comes with some selenium tests that can be executed using the
following command:$ python manage.py test --nologcapture -v 2 -a tags='wirecloud-selenium'In this case, you will need to have Chrome and Firefox installed as well aschromedriverandgeckodriver.JavaScript codeBefore being able to test JavaScript code, some dependencies have to be
installed:$ sudo npm install -g grunt-cli
$ npm installOnce installed all the npm dependencies, tests can be executed usinggrunt:$ gruntLicenseWireCloud is licensed under Affero General Public License (GPL) version 3 (or

(or AGPL) licenses are mostly related with the fact that different people assign different
interpretations on the meaning of the term “derivate work” used in these licenses. Due to this,
some people believe that there is a risk in justusingsoftware under GPL or AGPL licenses
(even withoutmodifyingit).For the avoidance of doubt, the owners of this software licensed under an AGPL-3.0 licensewish to make a clarifying public statement as follows:Please note that software derived as a result of modifying the source code of this
software in order to fix a bug or incorporate enhancements is considered a derivative
work of the product. Software that merely uses or aggregates (i.e. links to) an otherwise
unmodified version of existing software is not considered a derivative work, and therefore
it does not need to be released as under the same license, or even released as open source.
