Unit Test Harness for schematron validations #5

As a schematron developer, i want a unit test harness to prove the validation rules I add are delivering their intended function.

mike-stern commented 3 years ago

XSpec seems to be a leading candidate: https://www.balisage.net/Proceedings/vol19/html/Lizzi01/BalisageVol19-Lizzi01.html

Xspec is direction, Add

[x] Add harness file for .xspec
[x] Add script that allows for schematron validation and reporting by folder

Looking at the direction of using xml-model for declarative Schematron validation within XML. ala

<?xml-model href="../../src/ssp.sch" type="applicaiont/xml" schematypens="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron"?>

This aligns with the goals of having tooling support that would highlight (in-line) validations of the business rules set forth in the Schematron

Also researching tooling (vs Code or other open source options) that support xml-model and or xpec test harness. These videos (xpec and schematron and Schematron quick fixes) highlight the power brought forth using oxygen XML editor, but the license cost may be prohibitive for community adoption.
