_Disclaimers/Limits_

Because compliance cannot be verified – it does not mean that an LMS (or AU) is not cmi5 conformant.

Failure to import course structures ( with over 1000 AU's ) due to size/capacity of the system does not indicate failure of compliance with cmi5. (

Test suite AU failure to execute due to software/environment conflicts…

LMS

• (TestSuite) Create Test Course Structure(s)
  • Multiple course structures
    • ZIP Package vs XML only
    • Mix of Relative and Fully Qualified URLS

    • One for size test 1000 + AU's

    • Smaller one for Completion (Satisfied Test)
      • Large enough to test all MoveOn Criteria
        • Blocks, AU's
• (Human) Import that structure(s) into the LMS (admin user)
• (Human) Register the learner (admin User)
• (Human) Access the course as a learner
  • Selected AU's (not all)
• (Machine) AU's (Testsuite) inspect LMS/LRS data
• (Human) Procedure for learner to follow thru the course(s).
  • Initial entry
  • Re-entry of AU's
• (Human) Modify course structure (admin user) and verify effect as a learner
  • Eg, MasteryScore, MoveOn, etc

AU (Content) - Individually

• (Human) add a reference (URL) to AU to inspect
• (Human) Launch the AU and Interact with AU
• (Human) Re-entry to AU's
  • Launch in different modes
    • Review, Normal, Browse
• (Machine) Testsuite will inspect AU xapi data

AU (Content) – Course Structure (on or more)

• (Machine) Testsuite (LMS) – import/validate a course structure
• (Human) Launch each AU in the course and Interact with AU
• (Human) Re-entry to AU's
  • Launch in different modes
    • Review, Normal, Browse
• (Machine) Testsuite will inspect AU xapi data

Course Structure/Package

• (Machine) Inspect XML
  • XSD validation
  • Relative pathing & Fully Qualified URL
• (Machine) Inspect Package
  • Inspect ZIP
  • File existence validation (ZIP)
    • Content
    • XML file
  • ZIP format (32/64)

    •  Alternate Credentials to Access to LRS for LMS issued statements.
      •  AUx may not have sufficient access to query the LRS for statements issued by other AU's – So alternate credentials would need to be provided (e.g. AUx will need to have a login form for alternate access- for "deep queries")

_Disclaimers/Limits_

Because compliance cannot be verified – it does not mean that an LMS (or AU) is not cmi5 conformant.

Test suite AU failure to execute due to software/environment conflicts…

"** Reasonable Time" set by TestSuite parameters****. (Procedure will specify)**

Rationale: How long a learner user would expect to wait for LMS corrective action due to AU failure - up to 3 seconds
