Hi All,

Several WPS related presentation at FOSS4G2010 including the one entitled 
"Compliance testing of Open Source Software for Web Processing Services" took 
place this year [1].

The presentation above reported about some incorrect results about the ZOO-WPS 
implementation. So the ZOO-Tribe decided to provide a report based on the same 
techniques than the one used in above presentation and clarify of the ZOO 
Kernel valid XML responses using only Open Source software to run the tests.

The results of our tests are available on wiki page on the official ZOO Project 
Trac system [2] where you can read the results we got when running the validity 
tests for each requests discussed during the conference. As we are in an Open 
Source community we also provided a tool [3] to run the tests on your own using 
a simple bash script (working also on GNU/Linux and MacOS X). This way you can 
ensure that tests made were appropriate. Based on this tool we created another 
script which provides periodically a web report available on the ZOO-Project 
web site [4].

Contrary to what was said during in [1], all the tests made was successfully 
validated. Nevertheless, on the OGC external wiki [5], we noticed that the URLs 
used to run tests on the ZOO Kernel response validity was wrong so we have 
corrected it on this wiki page also.

Finally the conclusion to this test are the following :

a) ZOO Kernel provide XML document in responses to WPS request which are all 
valid,
b) ZOO Kernel support all the Execute request type

I hope you can take few minutes of your busy time to read the report and check 
by yourself that everything is working fine with the ZOO Kernel and maybe even 
more in the form of a a generic way to test our WPS implementation responses 
validity which will be useful for future testing.
