April 2022 LwDITA Testing =================================================== Two sets of testing updates: 1. Updates: My winter 2021 tests (xrefs, keyrefs, conrefs, conditions). 2. New: Element-level testing across XDITA and MDITA. 1. Updates to my winter 2021 tests: The matrix is used in winter 2021 included HDITA sourcing and FOP PDF output. I updated my version of Oxygen to 24.1 and my version of DITA-OT to 3.7.1. Per our discussion at the last meeting, HDITA is not used by anyone and DITA-OT FOP will never be updated to accommodate HDITA and MDITA. When I remove HDITA and FOP PDF from the test plan, the text matrix drops from 72 to 24 test cases. Of those 24 test cases, 18 pass. The four failures involve: a. XDITA conrefs to MDITA-hosted content not validated in Oxygen 24.1. b. MDITA conrefs to MDITA-hosted content not validated in Oxygen 24.1. c. MDITA conditions not validated in Oxygen 24.1. d. MDITA conditions not recognized in DITA-OT 3.7.1 HTML5 output. My conclusion -- LwDITA XDITA and MDITA are quite usable with a few caveats. An 18% failure rate isn't bad in these sorts of interoperability tests. I'll post the test results to https://github.com/StanDoherty/LightweightDITATesting this week. 2. New: Element-level testing: Using Jenifer Schlotfeldt's element inventory, I created a set of semantically parallel topics in XDITA and MDITA. - For elements in the XDITA topic, I tested Oxygen validation and DITA-OT HTML5 output. - For elements in the MDITA topic, I tested DITA-OT HTML5 output. - For the suite, I noted XDITA elements and MDITA conventions that worked correctly ACROSS XDITA and MDITA. I'll post the test files and test results before our next meeting.
