[ITK-users] [vtkusers] Testing ITK/VTK/PV contributions with (kitware) Gitlab-CI

[Grothausmann, Roman Dr.]

Many thanks Ben and Dženan for Your replies and pointing me to CircleCI. I see 
that testing contributions employing PV,VTK and ITK all together is rather 
challenging.

I wonder though why my pure VTK (PV) based contribution did not get tested when 
submitted to the VTK-Journal, e.g.
http://www.midasjournal.org/browse/publication/949

Is the testing the VTK/Midas Journals used to do not available any more?

Regards,
Roman
