| | 4 | The open source XSL formatters are the best sources for tools for testing formatted documents. The xmlroff XSL formatter (http://xmlroff.org/) has a framework for rasterising PDF or !PostScript output and comparing formatted pages against a reference, and the FOP XSL formatter (http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/) has a framework for comparing the XML renditions of its area tree against a reference. |

| | 8 | == xmlroff Testing Module == |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | This module serves multiple purposes for the xmlroff XSL formatter: |
| | 11 | * Comparing results between different versions of xmlroff |
| | 12 | * Comparing results between xmlroff’s different output formats |
| | 13 | * Comparing xmlroff output to files produced another way, e.g., from a different formatter – FO or otherwise |

| | 17 | == FOP Layout Engine Tests == |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | FOP’s layout engine tests are integrated with other JUnit tests that are run in the FOP build process. Each test includes a complete FO document, and assertions are made (and checked) about the FOP-specific area-tree that results from formatting the FO document with FOP. |
