A linking and interaction evaluation test set for SMIL

The SMIL 2.0 Language profile support several mechanisms for controlling interactivity in a SMIL 2.0 presentation. Unfortunately, the SMIL standard testset does not verify complex interactions of linking/interaction behavior of SMIL players and applications. This paper describes a linking and interaction test suite that was developed as part of the Ambulant SMIL Player project. We begin with a short review of SMIL’s linking and interaction facilities, then describe aspects of the test suite that have proven to highlight faults in current SMIL players. Categories and Subject Descriptors H.5.4 Hypertext/Hypermedia [Navigation], H.5.1 Multimedia Information Systems [Evaluation]. General Terms Experimentation, Performance, Verification Keywords SMIL, Linking, Test Sets
