---+ IVOA Validation Capabilities

This page provides a comprehensive summary of the validation capabilities associated with published IVOA standards. Validators include any software which takes an entity purported to be compliant with one or more IVOA standards and tests this compliance. The entity may a string, a file, a library, or a on-line service. Generally validators may produce false positives, services which seem to pass the validator but which may still be non-compliant. Only limited tests are done and some semantic aspects of a protocol may not be amenable to automated testing. However false negatives, where a service fails even though it is compliant, should be rare and should be reported to the party responsible for the validator.

The following table indexes validators for all IVOA protocols. The protocol name is a link to the following detailed discussions of the validation state of each protocol. These include links to any online validation sites or standalone validation software.
