ABOUT

The MSP CCS_Spreadsheet Tester tests the coordinate conversion accuracy of the MSPCCS coordinate conversion service.  It inputs a text file containing a collection of test cases, uses the MSPCCS service to perform the specified coordinate conversion and/or datum transformation for each case, and outputs the results to another text file.  It also displays a summary that identifies any errors, warnings, or differences from the expected results.

 

FEATURES

Features include:

 

·        Reads an input text file where the user specifies a collection of test cases to be executed.  For each test case, the input file specifies the input and output datums, the input and output coordinate systems/projections and any associated parameters, the input coordinates, and the expected coordinates.

·      Creates an output text file which is identical to the input file, with the actual output coordinates, and status (success, warning, error) information added.

·      Displays information identifying those test cases where the actual output coordinates do not match the expected coordinates, and/or where a warning or error status was returned.

·        Displays:

-        the number of test cases with successful return status and the expected results,

-        the number of test cases with successful return status and other than the expected results,

-        the number of test cases with warning status and the expected results,

-        the number of test cases with warning status and other than the expected results,

-        the number of test cases with error status (and therefore no results), and

-        the total number of test cases executed.
