As it's quiet today it seems like a good time to announce a little utility I've been working on recently that I've called "xchecker" (I don't really like the name and I came up with it! at least its slightly better than the original of 'CheckXML'...) xchecker allows you to: - test XML (or the XML result of a transform) using XPath, XSLT, XSD, XQuery, Relax NG in combination. - embed XPath 2.0 checks (and others) in XML Schema It can be downloaded from here: http://xchecker.sf.net/ The relevant topic for this list is to use xchecker as a test framework for XSLT. To do that you create a Check Config with a transform subject: <xchecker xmlns="http://xchecker.sf.net/"> <transform xml="xml/books.xml" xslt="xslt/books.xslt" result="result/output.html"> <check>/html/head/title = 'Books by publisher'</check> <check>exists(/html/head/meta)</check> </transform> </xchecker> xchecker will apply the transform (using Saxon) and then evaluate each <check> on the result. In order for a check to pass, xchecker looks for the following: - For XML Schema / Relax NG the document should validate - For XSLT / XQuery checks a single 'true' should be the result - For XPath a sequence of items can be returned with each one being 'true' Any non-'true' values are returned as the failure message, so you can re-write your tests to be a little more informative in the event of a failure: <check>if (/html/head/title = 'Books by publisher') then 'true' else concat('Unexpected title:', /html/head/title)</check> ...or some other inventive use of XPath. There's more info on the xchecker home page at http://xchecker.sf.net/ cheers andrew
