This wiki will be the official repository for documentation regarding the Unit Test Suite and its implementation for the US Transportation Pooled Fund project "TPF-5(372) BIM for Bridges and Structures".
The Unit Test Suite is designed to provide software developers/vendors with a series of instructions to create and export models of various elements, systems, and conditions across the breadth of expected supported use cases. It uses the common software development methodology of reducing complex software to the most basic operational "unit" that can be objectively judged as to being correct or not. These unit tests start at simple, single elements and then aggregate in various configurations and growing size and complexity at each level. This enables the developer to quickly test the quality of IFC output and more easily troubleshoot basic issues before moving onto the next level of complexity. Ideally, by the time the developer reaches the level of a complete bridge design, there are few issues to correct and none are explicitly related to prior unit test cases.
