The OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) is an international not for profit organization committed to making quality open standards for the global geospatial community. These standards are made through a consensus process and are freely available for anyone to use to improve sharing of the world's geospatial data.

1- Check that nightly test platform succeed at http://test.qgis.org/ogc_cite/wms_130/latest/report.html ## Technical steps
2- Check if the reference qgis server demo is running at http://qgis4.qgis.org:8080. E. g. for 3_4 and WMS? you can check get capabilities here http://qgis4.qgis.org:8080/qgisserver_3_4_teamengine?SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities If not, ask `ogc at qgis.org` to set up a reference server for the target version
3- Log into http://www.opengeospatial.org/resource/products/registration with the maintainer account (ask again the qgis ogc team if needed) 1. Check that nightly test platform succeed at http://test.qgis.org/ogc_cite/wms_130/latest/report.html
4- Create a new entry for the new service / version.

7- DO NOT close the popup - it will list the logs of the application. At some point, in the main web page you will have to validate 3 times generated images manually. Don't go drink a coffee and wait for it to finish alone. 5. Go to the testing site and create a new testing session where the real tests are run http://cite.opengeospatial.org/teamengine
8- In case of failure, you can download logs or access to the html report (which is not very informative). in case of success, keep track of the session id and name to use it into the final certification form. 6. Uncheck raster elevation, vector elevation and time tests

# Status and plans for QGIS server # Status and plans for QGIS server
QGIS server has been fully rewritten for QGIS 3. A lot of efforts have been spent to make it cleaner, easier to maintain, easier to extend with plugins, python services, with better error logs, and faster. The best way to consolidate that and gain the trust in it was to test it every day with the OGC team Engine tools. QGIS server has been fully rewritten for QGIS 3.

In 2017, we built up an open source platform that embeds the OGC TeamEngine [1] testing tools, QGIS latest server builds, and a Geoserver reference implementation [2] In 2017, we built up an open source platform [0] that embeds the OGC TeamEngine [1] testing tools and QGIS latest server builds. Daily reports are published to avoid regressions [2].
QGIS.org supported a lot of efforts in progressively fixing platform issues with TeamEngine - which took some time - and then tackling all OGC failures.
