IXRetail Conformance Testing

Pass/Fail Criteria
 
I. Schema Validation Report

The first report is a basic schema validation.  This report indicates if the test document submitted by the vendor is a valid XML document and conforms to the appropriate IXRetail published schema.  Must be error free to pass.
II. IXRetail Data Dictionary Check Report

The second report identifies element names within the test document that are not contained within the IXRetail Data Dictionary.  All elements must be in the Dictionary to pass.

III. Missing Tags Report

Each use case/scenario identifies a minimal set of mandatory elements necessary to support the each particular use case.  To pass there can be no missing tags within a particular use case/scenario. 
IV. Extension Tags Report
The Extensions Tags Report identifies any vendor specific (proprietary) extensions.  To pass a vendor must extend using only the IXRetail approved methodology.  Furthermore, the functionality provided by the extension must not be present in the IXRetail approved schema.  Extension information is confidential and will not be disclosed by ARTS.
