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 com-
       paring results to existing "x.OK" files.
