<p>Dear WPS implementers,<br>
<br>
A while (well, almost 2 years...) ago we talked about OGC CITE
tests for WPS 1.0.0 and how the execute operation could be tested.<br>
The Abstract Test Suite of the WPS 1.0.0 standard (05-007r7,
see[1]) describes the following tests for execute (see annex A
4.4):<br>
<br>
Test HTTP GET (if advertised/supported by the WPS)<br>
Test HTTP POST<br>
Test execute with output set to raw data (literal-, complex-,
boundingboxdata)<br>
Test execute with output set to response document (literal-,
complex-, boundingboxdata)<br>
Test execute with response storing and status updates (if
advertised/supported by the WPS/process)<br>
Test language selection for execute<br>
<br>
Now the issue here is that we need a process to test the execute
operation. We talked about using a simple echo-process, that takes
one of each data types as input and output.<br>
I attached an example process description. Things like the
identifier, formats, datatypes and supported CRS' need to be
discussed. <br>
But apart from that.. What do you think, would you be able to
provide such a process in your WPS framework?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
