WCS 2.0 compliance test suite
Scope
This Executable Test Suite (ETS) verifies the conformance of WCS 2.0 services. The services should be accessed through WCS GetCapabilities and DescribeCoverage using the HTTP KVP, POST, and/or SOAP protocol bindings, and GetCoverage using the HTTP KVP binding. The GetCoverage response should be provided as a GML coveage instance document.
Test coverage
In this test suite all mandatory conformance requirements are checked, and every instance document is thoroughly validated against all referenced XML schemas. Table 1 below provides the names of the conformance classes, references to the relevant clause in the abstract test suite (ATS) in Annex A, and information about its implementation status.

| Core | OGC 09-110r4 A.1 | Yes |
| Post | OGC 09-148r1 A.1 | Yes |
| Processing | OGC 08-059r4 A.1 | Yes |
| Scaling | OGC 12-039 A.1 | Yes |
| Interpolation | OGC 12-049 A.1 | Yes |
| Record subsetting | OGC 12-040 A.1 | Yes |
| CRS | OGC 11-053 A.1-A.3 | Yes |
| EOWCS | OGC 10-140 A.1-A.3 | Yes |

General requirements for the implementation:
- At least one protocol implementation should be available and advertised in the GetCapabilities response.
- The implementation provides at least two coverages.
- The first coverage offering should be a RectifiedGridCoverage with at least 2 dimensions, while the second coverage can be any coverage.
- Do not use CoverageId_Bogus as a coverage ID, format_bogus as a format name, mediatype_bogus for the mediatype parameter, or dimension_bogus as an axis name.
- The offered coverage must be implemented according to the GMLCov specification (09-146r2).
