ATS

• Annex A - Part 1: includes tests aiming at assessing the conformity of GML datasets to “COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial datasets and services” and its successive amendment “COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1253/2013 of 21 October 2013”.
  
  
• Annex A - Part 2: includes tests aiming at assessing conformity of GML datasets to relevant INSPIRE Data Specifications - Technical Guidelines (TG) requirements.

The requirements to be tested are grouped in several Conformance Classes.
Each of these classes covers a specific aspect: for example A.1 conformance class contains tests related to the requirements on the application schema, A.2 conformance class contains tests related to the requirements on the reference systems, etc …
In order to be conformant to a specific Conformance Class, a dataset has to pass all tests defined for that Conformance Class.
If a dataset is not yet conformant with all requirements of the Data Specification, conformity to individual Conformance Classes can be claimed.

ETS

In order to execute abstract tests associated to Conformance Classes, an Executable Test Suite(ETS), containing a physical implementation of the abstract tests, has to be derived from the ATS.
For those tests that cannot be automated the ETS contains guidelines to manual execution.
A single executable test can cover different abstract tests.

Tests included in the ATS vary according to the different data themes.
Select the INSPIRE Theme from the underlying dropdown list to display the ATS included in the Annex A of the relevant INSPIRE Data Specifications and have access to the associated ETS.
