Welcome to the INSPIRE validation GitHub space. This space is used for developing and maintaining the Abstract Test Suites (ATS) and the Executable Test Suites (ETS) for the INSPIRE Technical Guidelines, under the umbrella of the MIG. This space also serves for collecting your feedback and proposals on ATS, ETS and the underlying test framework (ETF).

ATS and ETS are currently available for:

• INSPIRE metadata (TG v1.3 and TG v2.0)
• INSPIRE View Services based on WMS and WMTS
• INSPIRE Download Services based on WFS, Atom, WCS and SOS
• INSPIRE Discovery Services based on CSW
• cross-cutting requirements for data sets related to any INSPIRE theme
• specific tests for data sets related to Annex I themes and partially Annex II/III themes (the updated list of such themes is available here).

Please check the changelog of the current and past releases and the release planning strategy for the plan of future releases of the INSPIRE Reference Validator. You can use the helpdesk to report bugs, propose new features and start discussions or raise questions on the INSPIRE Reference Validator. The status of the solutions to all the issues currently open in the helpdesk can be checked on the project board.

On this page we collect additional information, tutorials, guidance etc. on developing test suites that you may find useful.
