Overview

This executable test suite is based on the following OGC specifications:

• OpenGIS® Web Coverage Service (WCS) Implementation Specification (OGC-03-065r6)
• OpenGIS® Web Coverage Service (WCS) Implementation Specification Corrigendum (1.0.0) (OGC-05-076)

The only difference in testing an implementation of the original WCS 1.0.0 spec (03-065r6) or the corrigendum (05-076) is the schemas used for validation. Both are tested using test module wcs1-0-0:main in the abtstract test suite. When the test suite is started, the user can select which version of the schemas is implemented.

What is tested

Only the protocol is tested.

• GetCapabilities, GET KVP, POST KVP, and POST XML encodings
• DescribeCoverage, GET KVP, POST KVP, and POST XML encodings
• GetFeature, GET KVP, POST KVP, and POST XML encodings

Each encoding is optional except for the GetCapabilities GET KVP encoding. The optional encodings are only tested when the GetCapabilities response indicates that the encoding is supported.

The user is prompted for the end point URL of the server. If there is no server at that location, the testing stops.

What is not tested

• The coverage returned by a GetCoverage request

Test data

There is no test data required for the WCS 1.0.0 executable test suite.

Namespaces

There are two namespaces used by the WCS.

Schemas

The schemas for the corrigendum are currently available online at http://schemas.opengis.net/wcs/1.0.0.

Abstract Test Suite

Details on the tests performed are available in the abstract test suite.
