We need 3 early implementations or 1 early implementation and test has been long enough in the beta validation website.

Process (per conformance class):

• 1. Release in beta

  • check that conformance classes match (exact names form the specification)
  • confirm the correct version of the specification that the test represents. In particular check for corrigenda versions. Needs to be clarified in the welcome page of the test
  • check that there is at list one core test
  • if possible check that there is a unit case for each conformance class that test failing
