XML Parser Test Suite Data Sheet

XML Parser Test Suite

The XML Parser Test Suite can be used to test the robustness, security, and reliability of XML parsers. An XML parser is a software module whose purpose is to read XML data and extract application data to be handled within the actual application. The reliability and security of the XML parser used in a system are critical for the overall system reliability and security. A parser touches incoming requests usually without any prior authentication or screening so vulnerabilities in the parser are usually directly exploitable for denial-of-service attacks or worse. The XML Parser Test Suite contains a template that can be modified for use with any XML content. Any XML-based file format can be tested by the XML Parser Test Suite.
