Application Profiling and Testing Tutorial
This is a tutorial explaining how to build an Application Profile and to test conformance using Telcert Tools. This tutorial is based on the Europortfolio Application Profile.
How to modify
How to modify the base schema using Schemaprof from Koblenz University:
- Starting a new AP (based on release 4.4.2 of Schemaprof - June 2006)
- Adding a cardinality modification with an annotation (based on release 4.4.2 of Schemaprof - June 2006)
- Adding a new vocabulary list for an attribute (based on release 4.4.2 of Schemaprof - June 2006)
- Advanced feature: Using conditional modification (based on release 4.4.2 of Schemaprof - June 2006)
- Advanced feature: Using additional constraint using external vocabulary file as an alternative to the previous conditional modification (based on release 4.4.2 of Schemaprof - June 2006)
Deprecated part of the tutorial (old release 4.0.1 of Schemaprof):
Starting a new AP
Adding a cardinality modification with an annotation
Adding a new vocabulary list for an attribute
How to produce derived schema
How to build the Application Profile using Apple SchemaTransformTool plug-in for Schemaprof:
How to create instances, build content
How to build a new eportfolio instance using this AP with CRT from Bolton University:
- Deploying your AP in CRT
- Creating a new instance using CRT
- Setting a Content Package AP in CRT to be able to use the CP edition feature
- Using advanced CP edition feature of CRT with ePortfolio
- Create a configuration file for Content Packaging edition (new, based on last release of CRT v2.3.2)
How to test conformance and analyze results
How to test your instance using the Telcert Test System from The OpenGroup:
- Uploading your AP (using Test System 1.4)
- Uploading your instance (using Test System 1.4)
- Setting a new test session (using Test System 1.4)
- Launching the session and seeing results (using Test System 1.4)
- Full scenario : creating a bad content package with several errors (related to packaging, xml file structure and the application profile itself) and test it with the test system (using Test System 1.3) (5,8 Mb flash file, be patient...)
Annexes
- Demo Application Profile schemaprof file.
- Base IMS portfoliocp schema.
- Application Profile Folder to use with CRT.
- First well formed ePortfolio content package.
- Second ePortfolio content package including errors (used in the Full Scenario).
