    • 1 sample web map service.
    • 1 sample WMS server (to show Capabilities).
    • 1 Web Map Context document.
  • Update strings in English and synchronize the other language files. Here's a description of a function that can assist with this process. Synchronize language files
  • Check the links provided on the links page.
  • Check the help and search instructions to be in line with application.
  • Test import & export of MEF files for the generated examples.

Installation

  • Installation instructions should be correct.
  • Installer will insert sample metadata if selected.
  • Installer should create shortcuts on Windows, including those to the user documentation.
  • Clear instruction how to change admin password.
  • Navigation between search, results and full metadata.
  • Use of interactive maps.
  • Check remote search.
  • Check keyword search.

Editing

    • make sure online resource sub templates for download, web map service, web link & web map context are available.
    • check working of the thesaurus to add keywords.
  • Test FGDC & DC templates and editing.

Administration

  • Administrative services have to work on IE, Chrome and Firefox as the minimal requirement.
  • Check each of the available services filling out all as well as the minimum details in the different forms (e.g. address in contact details etc.).
  • Check the different harvesting methods that have been implemented (and hide those that have not yet been implemented or have severe problems).
