Benefits

  • First test suite for PPML to test the breadth of the specification
  • A quick, thorough way to test your PPML implementation for compliance to the standard

QualityLogic's PPML Comprehensive Functional Test Suite (CFTS) consists of over 400 test cases that produce device-independent test results.

The PPML CFTS represents a systematic and practical use of PPML commands by employing a large content library of fonts, PS fragments, EPS, TIFF, JPG, and PDF files for test case development. The design is modular so the suite can be expanded to support new file formats as they emerge.

The PPML CFTS is broken down in the following sections:

  • Markup Tests rigorously exercise the breadth of PPML elements and attributes
  • Conformance Level 2 Tests focus on capabilities unique to PPML’s Conformance
  • Error Condition Tests focus on error conditions explicitly noted in the PPML specification and those that seem very likely in PPML producer applications.
