The Isartor test suite for PDF/A-1b deliberately violates each requirement of the PDF/A-1b standard in order to check whether validation software detects all possible kinds of violation of the standard requirements, and whether it provides appropriate explanation for rejected nonconforming documents.Ī PDF/A validator which completely passes the Isartor test suite is known to implement all required checks.įor the sake of simplicity, only a single aspect of the standard is violated at a time. Through a rigid quality assurance and testing process a lot of effort has been spent to make sure that all test files adhere to these basic principles. This creation process support reproducibility. Reproducible: All test files (with only a few exceptions) have been created programmatically with a documented change history.Traceable: Each test is based on a specific clause in PDF/A-1 which can easily be identified.Self-documenting: The test files contain intrinsic information about the expected result of performing the test.

Complete: The Isartor test suite provides full coverage of all requirements in the PDF/A-1 standard.

Wherever possible test files avoid to touch more than one aspect of the standard.

Atomic: A test file attempts to examine a particular aspect of the standard.

The Isartor test suite has been constructed according to the following basic principles: More precisely, the Isartor test suite can be used to validate the validators: It deliberately violates the requirements of PDF/A-1 in a systematic way in order to check whether PDF/A-1 validation software actually finds the violations. This test suite comprises a set of files which can be used to check the conformance of software regarding the PDF/A-1 standard. The Isartor Test Suite is named after the location of the first meeting of the Technical Working Group, a medieval gate towards the river Isar in the center of Munich/Germany.
