Running validation tests

Validations come in two flavors...

• connection validation - PASS if a request gets back a specified minimum size result set from an authority; otherwise, FAIL.
• accuracy test - PASS if a specific result is returned by a specified position (e.g. uri is in the top 10 results); otherwise, FAIL.

The validations can be defined in a file with a matching file name in the scenarios directory. For example, direct access to the AgroVoc authority, access is configured in config/authorities/linked_data/agrovoc_direct.json and the validations are defined in config/authorities/linked_data/scenarios/agrovoc_direct_validation.yml

The UI for qa_server provides access to running connection validation and accuracy tests in the Check Status navigation menu item.
