RE: Testing if something is not there

The following does not use your key function, but does return sites hat have
not run a given test.

I have wrapped your snippet with an <xml> tag.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
	xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:apply-templates
select="xml/BuildStamp/Testing[count(Tests/Test/FullName[text()='SomeOtherTe
stName'])=0]" />
	</xsl:template>

	<xsl:template match="Testing">
		<xsl:value-of select="SiteName/text()" />
	</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

This produces the output

SomeOtherName

which is the site that has no test with full name equal to
'SomeOtherTestName'

I have an XML file (snippet below)

<BuildStamp>
    <Testing>
        <SiteName>SomeName</SiteName>
        <Tests>
            <Test>
                <FullName>SomeTestName</FullName>
                <Result>0</Result>
            </Test>
            <Test>
                <FullName>SomeOtherTestName</FullName>
                <Result>0</Result>
            </Test>
        </Tests>
    </Testing>
</BuildStamp>
<BuildStamp>
    <Testing>
        <SiteName>SomeOtherName</SiteName>
        <Tests>
            <Test>
                <FullName>SomeTestName</FullName>
                <Result>0</Result>
            </Test>
        </Tests>
    </Testing>
</BuildStamp>

I am re-grouping this information.  For each "Test" (grouped by "FullName"),
gather the results from
each "SiteName".   So the resulting XML will look like

<Test>
    <Name>SomeTestName</Name>
    <Result>
        <SiteName>SomeName</SiteName>
        <Status>SomeExitStatus</Status>
    </Result>
    <Result>
        <SiteName>SomeOtherName</SiteName>
        <Status>SomeOtherExitStatus</Status>
    </Result>
</Test>
<Test>
    <Name>SomeOtherTestName</Name>
    ...
</Test>

I can achieve this result using xsl:key and the key() function. While
difficult to grok, it is VERY
FAST.  Now the kicker.  Not every "Test" is run on every "Site" (not every
"Test/FullName" needs to
appear under every "BuildStamp"). What I really want to do is "fill out" the
Test elements, so that
every BuildName/Site appears inside of every Test element.  If the Site did
not run the Test, then
the "Status" will be set to "NA".

Is there a fast way that I could iterate over the Site's that are NOT in the
node-set returned by
key()?

The key I am using is

<xsl:key name="TestNames" match="Test" use="FullName"/>

I want to know what BuildStamp/SiteName combinations did not run a specified
test.
