WebCGM 2.1 Test
Suite
05 October 2009
More than half of the tests have had changes -- corrections and
improvements -- since the previous publication. Please consult the
documentation header of the test's HTML file to determine whether it has
changed, and how. (Or compare its date in the ZIP file to the below previous
publication date.)
Specific changes since the previous version:
- following TS freeze for publication, a bug
has been reported in rotateAnimation: the rotation point and the
query results should be NVDC.
- setGetFillOffset has been removed and replaced with the new test
setGetFillOffset2, which isolates the feature-under-test better.
- spXCF is a new test that tests XCF-interface access to the new Style
Property features of 2.1.
- transformXCF is a new test that tests XCF-interface access to the new
transform features of 2.1.
In addition, note:
02 July 2009
This first public release of the full 2.1 test suite
(webcgm21-ts-20090702.zip) incorporates the add-on module of 2.1-specific
tests, integrated with the long-standing public release versions of the
WebCGM 2.0 Test Suite.
A number of anomolies should be observed, which are planned for correction
in future releases:
- See the Test versions discussion,
about the tests' "'ProfileEd"' identifiers, in Overview.html.
- There are formal errors in some of the older CGMs, but the tests are
good and useful. ("Formal errors" means that the MetaCheck verifier will
declare violations of rules of WebCGM and/or CGM:1999, but the nature of
those violations would not affect any known viewer implementation.)
- See the "Caveats" section of Overview.html.
- The 2.0 test bug of this
email thread is has been fixed in the node-metadata test.
