MSP CCS
Spreadsheet Tester
Factsheet
1.      About
2.      Features 
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 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.
