NAME

       xmltest - Test script to send CIM-XML (via wbemcat) to CIMOM and compare to known results

SYNOPSIS

       xmltest [FILE]

DESCRIPTION

       xmltest  is a script that is used to send a raw CIM-XML test file to the sfcb CIMOM (using
       wbemcat) and then compares the returned CIM-XML results against  a  previously  determined
       'OK'  result  file  to  check  whether the returned results match the expected results. If
       there does not yet exist an 'OK' corresponding to the XML file then xmltest will save  the
       returned  results  as the new OK file for later use. If the returned CIM-XML results don't
       match the existing 'OK' file  a  new  'result'  file  will  be  generated  containing  the
       erroneous results.

       If  no  FILE  is specified xmltest will use all files with a .xml extension in the current
       directory path.

EXAMPLE

       If there is no 'OK' file to compare returned CIM-XML results against xmltest will generate
       one.

              # xmltest test/getclass.Linux_OperatingSystem.xml

              Running test test/getclass.Linux_OperatingSystem.xml ... OK
              Saving response as test/getclass.Linux_OperatingSystem.OK

       If  the returned CIM-XML results match the existing 'OK' file xmltest will signal that the
       test passed.

              # xmltest test/getclass.Linux_OperatingSystem.xml

              Running test test/getclass.Linux_OperatingSystem.xml ... Passed

       If the returned CIM-XML results don't match the existing 'OK'  file  xmltest  will  signal
       that the tes failed and generate a 'result' file containing the erroneous results.

              # xmltest test/getclass.Linux_OperatingSystem.xml

              Running test test/getclass.Linux_OperatingSystem.xml ... FAILED
              Check test/getclass.Linux_OperatingSystem.result for errors

BUGS

       Does  not  adequately  deal  with  additional  http  headers/footers  caused  by  chunking
       responses, which will result in false failures when comparing results to  existing  "x.OK"
       files.
