Test Requirements and Assertions for WCS 1.0.0

ISSUE : 1.0.0

Preface

This document describes the requirements a WCS1.0.0 implementation must meet to be eligible for certification testing and the assertions that are tested.

For each assertion in the specifications, a corresponding entry in this test specification contains the following elements:

ID: The name by which the test is known
Class: An assertion Class as defined in IEEE Std 1003.3. These types are:
A A mandatory, testable assertion.
B A mandatory, but untestable assertion.
C An optional, testable assertion.
D An optional, but untestable assertion.
Scope: If an assertion is type C or D, this entry describes the option that needs to be supported in order to activate the test.
Text: The text of the assertion and a reference to the source specification from which the assertion is derived.
Note: Any supplementary information associated with the assertion. For example it may suggest a strategy for the test implementation of the assertion or it may propose rationale as to why a test is classified as untestable.

This specification uses the following conventions for convenience:

  • Element and attribute names are in UPPERCASE.
  • References to DTD entities are prefixed with percent sign (e.g. %PCDATA).
  • Literal text is enclosed in quotation marks.

I. Test Requirements

To be certifiable as a WCS, an implementation must meet the following requirements:

  • There need to be at least two coverages provided by the tested server.
  • The first coverage offering should include all the tested features while the second coverage could be anything.
  • The first coverage offering must take one of the 5 formats described in the WCS1.0.0 standard document as the first supported format.
  • The first coverage offering should have parameters defined in the axisDescription.
  • If the xml encoding is tested, the first coverage offering should have interpolation method defined.
  • If the server supports time postion, the first coverage offering should define time feature.

    • II. Variables and Scopes

    A. User supplied variables

    These variables are supplied by the user.

    Variable Name Prompt
    VAR_HIGH_UPDATESEQUENCE A value that is lexically higher than the current updateSequence value
    VAR_LOW_UPDATESEQUENCE A value that is lexically lower than the current updateSequence value
    VAR_WCS_COVERAGE_1_RESX A query parameter for the resolution in the width direction for the first coverage offering.
    VAR_WCS_COVERAGE_1_RESY A query parameter for the resolution in the height direction for the first coverage offering.
    VAR_WCS_FORMAT_1_HEADER The mime header for the first available format in the first coverage offering.


    B. User supplied scopes

    These scopes are options selected by the user.

    Scope ID Description
    xml Make request with xml encoding.
    haveparameter The server supports parameters in axis description.
