The CAMV engine is ideal for rapidly developing Test, Evaluation, And
Measurement (TEAM) test suites for XML information exchanges. The
concise CAM rules syntax leverages XPath v2.0 capabilities. This means
that rules are declarative along with acting directly on the XML
structure and hence this dramatically simplifies rule assertions.
Coupled to this is the ability of the CAM Editor visual IDE to
automate much of the tasks involved in test suite and Compliance and
Interoperability Testing development and implementation. This includes
automatic harvesting of rules from existing XSD schema definitions,
automatic generation of XML test instances with realistic test data
hints, and generation of HTML documentation of the business rules. Then
rule entry wizards simplify the task of rule entry and are accessible
via a "right click" popup menu tool directly from the XML instance
structure viewer in the CAM Editor IDE. Compliance test rules are
implemented in XPath language syntax that can be run interactively in
the CAM Editor IDE against XML test instances and results visually
diagnosed.
Completed rules templates may then be deployed via ANT
scripts as automated test suites for validation of arbitrary XML
information exchange samples. The ANT scripts support use of drop
folders, so any test cases dropped into the designated folder will then
be inspected and validated against the applicable rules templates.
