The test cases for the RDQL in Jena are shipped with the standard Jena distribution - you can pull them out of the CVS repository on SourceForge as well. The control (manifest) file is not RDF - but it could be. Tests take the form (query, data, expected result set) and there is code that tests the expected result set is equivalent (same values for variables, subject to bNode-isms, number or rows etc) to the actual results obtained. I don't test failure cases (i.e. that queries that are wrong fail in the expectedly wrong way). For the FAQ: Alberto has gone a great job with: http://rdfstore.sourceforge.net/2002/06/24/rdf-query/query-use-cases.html Andy -----Original Message----- From: Libby Miller [mailto:Libby.Miller@bristol.ac.uk] Sent: 15 January 2003 23:40 To: www-rdf-rules@w3.org Cc: public-esw@w3.org Subject: RDF query testcases? Hi all We have some effort in SWAD-Europe [1] to write a document about RDF query [see [2]]. Part of this will be FAQ-based - a start is here [3], (and I'd be grateful for any FAQs or answers). The main reason for sending this message it because I've chatted to a few people who feel that a collection of RDF query testcases would be a useful thing to have, and I can put some effort into this - maybe as a minimum, finding out what's already available, and maybe look into some ways of enabling one query language implementation to use another's testcases. So, would anyone out there like to share their test and their experiences of writing them? I can infer that Jena and 4suite have them; I think Mozilla has some too. I've got some here for Inkling: http://swordfish.rdfweb.org/rdfquery/tests/ http://swordfish.rdfweb.org/rdfquery/rdf/ http://swordfish.rdfweb.org/rdfquery/queries/ Basically the test scripts read in http://swordfish.rdfweb.org/rdfquery/rdf/query-results-manifest.rdf which specifies the RDF/XML file to pull in, the query to use and the expected number of rows in the resulting table. So it's only a very basic test of whether the query engine is functioning. Any more? Any thoughts? cheers, Libby [1] http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/Europe/ [2] http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/Europe/plan/workpackages/live/esw-wp-7.html [3] http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/Europe/reports/rdf_ql_comparison_report/
