What is the Compliance Testing Program ?

The OGC Compliance Testing Program, is an ongoing initiative that develops tests for OGC standards, and makes those tests available for online testing.  This web site is a resources for developers that are working with their software to make it OGC compliant, as well as for developers improving the testing scripts and software. It provides a summary of available tests, information about building the source code, reference implementation, etc. Our roadmap is available here.

Who is Involved ?

CITE Team is comprised of OGC staff and other organizations around the world which are supporting the program. More about us here. 

Why Compliance Testing?

The Compliance Testing Program provides confidence to technology vendors and buyers. Vendors feel confident that they are providing a product compliant with OGC standards, which will be easier to integrate and easier to market. Buyers feel confident that a compliant product will work with another compliant product based on the same OGC specification, regardless of which company developed the product.
