DCD may test multiple open-source applications to develop a particular tool. When a tool is in pilot it means that an open-source application is being tested to see if it can meet the users' needs, before the tool begins a more comprehensive development by the DCD team. If the open-source application is unsuitable, a different application will undergo pilot testing.
