I guess the Schematron equivalent has the advantage of simplicity and doesn't lose out on portability if any prerequisites are merely turned into qualifications on the context: <schema xmlns="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron"> <pattern> <rule context="/InvoiceCalculationModelReport/IN1[1]"> <assert test="InvoiceCount[1]='1'">IN1 Failed</assert> </rule> </pattern> <pattern> <rule context="/InvoiceCalculationModelReport/INTOT1[1][DistinctCurrencyCount[1]='1']"> <assert test="LegalMonetaryTotalLineExtensionAmount[1]=SumOfLineExtensionAmounts[1]">INTOT1 Failed</assert> </rule> </pattern> </schema> Anything I can do better? I'd like to add reports too so that I get some output even when a test cases is passed, not just when it fails but that seems have an unwanted side effect of making the pass look like a validation error. <schema xmlns="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron"> <pattern> <rule context="/InvoiceCalculationModelReport/IN1[1]"> <assert test="InvoiceCount[1]='1'">IN1 Failed</assert> <report test="InvoiceCount[1]='1'">IN1 Passed</report> </rule> </pattern> <pattern> <rule context="/InvoiceCalculationModelReport/INTOT1[1][DistinctCurrencyCount[1]='1']"> <assert test="LegalMonetaryTotalLineExtensionAmount[1]=SumOfLineExtensionAmounts[1]">INTOT1 Failed</assert> <report test="LegalMonetaryTotalLineExtensionAmount[1]=SumOfLineExtensionAmounts[1]">INTOT1 Passed</report> </rule> </pattern> </schema> I've only got satisfactory results if I use an intermediate report file aganst which to write the rules though, otherwise the XPaths are too complex (especially if I include prerequisites as qualifications on the context XPaths).
