CASS’s expertise in open source technologies — source code that is open to the public to improve and change — was the basis for the collaboration with the Alliance. CASS now hosts the Alliance’s AllJoyn Automated Test Suite (AJATS), a collection of hardware on which members run tests for AllJoyn. Because the Alliance is based on open-source development, the OSU’s Open Source Lab (a branch of CASS) proved an ideal neutral location for all the Alliance’s corporate engineers to monitor changes to the code and their impact on the devices.
