Talos is the official conformance testing platform for the EWP Network. Talos is configured, developed, and expanded, via and on top of the Interoperability Test Bed, which is a service offered by the European Commission’s DIGIT to facilitate the conformance testing of IT systems. Read the Intoduction to ITB if you are interested in the test bed.

The purpose of Talos is to validate implementations against scenario-based test cases, ensuring that Higher Education Institutions and network nodes comply with EWP specifications. 

By using Talos, institutions can verify that their systems are fully interoperable and ready for Erasmus mobility exchanges.

Talos is accessible 24/7 at https://talos-dev.it.auth.gr.

To begin testing your institution’s implementation:

1. Define a Higher Education Institution which will be used in the tests.
   (My Provider -> Create Higher Education Institution)

2. Create a Conformance Statement describing your setup.
   (My Conformance Statements -> Select your HEI -> Click Create Statements -> Ensure Nominations API is checked → Click Confirm)

3. Execute the predefined test scenarios to verify compliance.

Interaction with Talos follows the same principle as with any other node in the EWP Network. Talos publishes its endpoints through its manifest, which is registered in the EWP DEV Registry.
