See Field 10.019 for example. + Corrected issue where some XML child elements were not being tested. This issue was related to the way informaiton items are parsed. This also fixes issues with CondCode testing. + Corrected issue with Editor pop-out data editor for binary fields in non- binary records (i.e. image fields). The editor now correctly allows editing of those fields. Application Changes: + Added suppport for all Level-2 tests, which includes the following MRT elements: > DependPresenceReq (Field A present IFF Field B present) > DependPresenceOpt (If Field A present, then Field B present) > DependAbsence (If Field A present, the Field B not present) > DependValue (Field A present IFF Field B passes value test) > DependValueReq (If Field B passes value test, then Field A is present) > DependValueOpt (If Field A is present, the Field B passes value test) > InterFieldOccur (If Field B present, then occurrence of Field A must be equal to the occurrence of Field B) > InterFieldCount (If Field B present, then occurrence of Field A must be equal to the numeric value of Field B) > InterFieldValue (If Field B present, then Field A value must pass the comparitive value test in relation to Field B) + Added ability to turn off Level-2 testing in both CLI and GUI versions. + Added tests to detect XML elements that are not defined by the MRTs. If an undefined element contains a value it it will now result in an error. Only elements containing values are required to be defined by the MRTs. + Field presence and occurrence tests modified: > Tests for values are now reported only for M or M^, and test only that the field is present (not occurrence). The tests for O, O^, D, and D^ were redundant. > New static requirement added "NoFieldNumberDuplicates" that checks for any duplicates of a single field number within a Record, which are not permitted. Multiple "occurrences" of fields are represented using subfields. Note: Binary Records do allow duplicate fields, so this is not tested for Binary Records. > and now test the number of Sub Field occurrences for a specific field number, instead of testing the occurrence of the field. Note: Binary Records test field occurrence, since Sub Fields do not exist in that encoding. + TOTField tests modified for Tagged (ASCII) Records to test for Sub Field occurrence rather than FieldNumber occurrence. + Added tests for CondCode, MinOccur, and MaxOccur for XML encoding. + Output logs now indicate "Testing Constraints Applied" which list any restrictions the user puts on the conformance tests, such as reporting errors only or opting out of Level-2 testing. + All log types now include "Application Name" and "Application Version" GUI Changes: + Drag and drop files on the BioCTS application .exe icon to automatically load the files in the application. + Improved the responsiveness of the "stop testing" button on the Batch Test tab. Testing now stops immediately. Previously, testing continued until the current file testing was complete for all configurations. + Added passing/failing indicators on all Result lists in the Editor. It is now easier to determine exactly where errors are being reported. + The "Selected Configuration" in the Editor can now be changed prior to loading a file. CLI Changes: + The flag -configpath is now respected when combined with -tprompt. This allows the user to specify a configuration file, and then to run prompts using that configuration file until the user exits the program. + The -h and -help flags may now be used in -tprompt mode. + Added -nolevel2 flag to turn off Level-2 testing. + Added -about flag to display information about the application. + Added -changelog flag to display the latest changelog. MRT File Changes: + To view all changes, search the MRT files for "BioCTS". All changes to the MRT files are tagged with where X is either "Defect", "Editorial", or "Validation". Defect indicates that MRTs did not accurately reflect the standard requirements, Editorial indicates only a minor non-technical change, and Validation indicates that the modification was needed to properly validate or conformance test the requirement. Description explains the modification made. + All FieldDefinition files: > Updated to reflect cases where the standard mapping tables have defects regarding nc:Date (when it should be nc:DateTime). These include: 18.013, 18.014, 20.005, 21.005, 98.006 > Updated to be TX for all Record Types so that tests for Traditional Fields would apply. > Updated all FieldDefs that contain information items so that the and elements are specified in order to ensure proper parsing. + FBIEBTS10.0.5-FieldDefinition.xml: > Modified with 02.046 so that the correctly references ebts:RecordTransactionActivity and not ebts:RecordActivity (which was used in version 9.3). > Modified with 02.060 to allow newlines + FBIEBTS10.0.5-LookupCodes.xml: > Adjustments to FBIEBTS:NDR codes (removed leading zeros, removed deprecated codes 4 & 5) + FBIEBTS9.3-FieldDefinition.xml: > Modified with 02.060 to allow newlines > Added missing support for field 2.2033-I (NDR) > Added missing support for field 9.013 > Added FingerprintImageImpressionCategoryCode as an alternative path for any XML path that is listed as FrictionRidgeImageImpressionCategoryCode (for backwards compatibility as reflected in schema). + FBIEBTS9.3-LookupCodes.xml: > Adjustments to FBIEBTS:NDR codes (added missing values & modified descriptions that were incorrect) Sample Transaction Changes: + Modified FBI EBTS XML transactions to reflect correct XML paths. The paths used in the old version of the files were deprecated. For example, field 10.023 FaceImageAcquisitionSource previously used the prefix (itl:), but it was deprecated in favor of (biom:) + Modified FBI EBTS XML transactions with Field 9.303 values that are out of range of the valid values defined in NIST SP 1134 (Extended Features Set Profile Specification) + Corrected invalid values based on Level-1 and Level-2 tests defined in the MRTs. Some additional test transactions were added for Level-2 specific tests.
