The XML Conformance Test Suite, v1.0, Second Edition contains over 2000 test
files and an associated test report. The test report
contains background information on conformance testing
for XML as well as test descriptions for each of the
test files included in this release. This test suite
provides a set of metrics for determining
conformance to the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml">W3C XML
1.0 (Second Edition) Recommendation</a>.
The XML Conformance Test Suite is intended to complement
the W3C XML 1.0 (Second Edition) Recommendation. All interpretations of this
Recommendation are subject to confirmation by the
<a href="http://www.w3.org/XML/Activity.html">W3C XML
Coordination Group</a>.
<p>
This second edition includes 1000 additional tests contributed by IBM. In
addition, several tests have been either updated or further documented to
be in accordance with the XML 1.0 (Second Edition) Recommendation. Many
thanks to Arnaud Le Hors and Richard Tobin, of the W3C XML Core WG, for their insightful
comments regarding interpretations of the specification. See
<a href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/xml-conformance/suite-v1se/changes.html">
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/xml-conformance/suite-v1se/changes.html</a> for additional details.
