The "NWB File Compatibility Testing and Summary Generation via Docker" project aims to streamline the process of testing NWB (Neurodata Without Borders) files for compatibility through the utilization of Docker containers. NWB files are commonly used to store neuroscientific data, and ensuring their compatibility with various software environments is crucial (NWB Explorer in particular). By employing Docker, the project facilitates consistent and reproducible testing across environments under observation. The project also involves the automated generation of summary files, which provide concise insights into the compatibility status of NWB files. This endeavor ultimately enhances the efficiency of assessing file compatibility while promoting standardized practices within the neuroscientific community.
