Charter

The primary purpose of the IVI Foundation is to promote the development and adoption of standards for programming test instruments and to systematically and sustainably support the development and the continued usability of the open-source instrument driver software and shared components published by the Foundation. That support comprises the hosting of the source code and of the software development collaboration platform, the governance and administration of the published projects, the steering of their development, the management of releases, and the handling of vulnerability reports and security patches. In doing so, the Foundation ensures the viability of that software over time and thereby serves the needs of people that build and maintain high-performance test systems with off-the-shelf instrument drivers.
