WMTS 1.0 Conformance Test Suite

The selection and execution of tests is rather tortuous. A test run starts off in WMTS_ETS.xml with the following steps:

1. Fetch service metadata

• Note: XML Schema validation is disabled by default. Schematron is not used at all to perform rule-based validation (to check constraints that are beyond an XML Schema grammar).

2. call-function "wmtsBootstrap:bootstrap.restful" (check advertised capabilities)
3. call-function "wmts:testMenus" (select tests)
4. call-function "wmtsFunctions:invokeTestGroupsForBinding" (run test groups)
5. call-function "wmtsFunctions:invokeSelectedTests" (in wmtsFunctions.xml)
6. call-test $testName
7. call-function $abbreviatedTestName (in wmtsFunctions.xml; this file contains almost 30000 lines!)

There is a draft ATS that offers some guidance regarding test coverage.

There are several test groups defined for each binding.

Binding	Test groups
REST	CommonOperations.Mandatory.RESTful GetCapabilities.Mandatory.RESTful GetTile.Mandatory.RESTful GetTile.Implemented.RESTful GetFeatureInfo.Implemented.RESTful
