Various tools that are useful for GPS Testing, as covered in this video.

These were originally developed by Diarmid Mackenzie, and source code can be found in his GitHub repo here:

The web tools have been deployed to a PathCheck PythonAnywhere account.

Log in for this account can be found in the PathCheck slack, in the (private) testing_management channel.

There is nothing confidential on that PythonAnywhere server - just the source code that can be found publically on GitHub already. But by not publishing the password here (this page is public), we reduce the risk of the server being disrupted.

Note that PythonAnywhere closes down accounts that have gone unused for 3 months. To maintain this, someone will need to log in and renew the (free) subscription every 3 months if we want to maintain this service.

Alternatively (and particularly helpful if the account does expire), anyone can set up a new PythonAnywhere server following the instructions in the repo.
