Advanced Quality Assurance tool for SGML and XML data ensures conformance to business rules and document standards.

With Advisor, you don’t have to worry about whether or not your authored SGML or XML content conforms to rules and standards. Authors no longer have to manually check each and every SGML and XML document. Advisor automates Quality Assurance and ensures delivery of material that meets your needs.

Go Beyond the DTD to Insure Quality Standards

Use Advisor to go beyond the simple, structural validation that a Document Type Definition (DTD) or Schema parser does, and give your customer the SGML and XML content they want and expect. Advisor is completely configurable to your Quality Assurance rules, and features a broad library of validation templates that will guarantee authored SGML and XML content has the data your business needs defined.

Advisor allows non-technical users to create SGML or XML business rules, enabling rapid validation of documents to an organization’s standards. From simple to complex rule checking, implement a standard without any coding, yet allow yourself the security that SGML and XML documents maintain and pass the quality standard you want to have enforced.

Rule Creation

Extensive Validation Template Library

Configure custom content rules that go beyond the simple, structural validation that a Document Type Definition (DTD) or Schema parser does.

Validation Library

XPath & Logical AND/OR Groupings

Build and customize new XML Path Language (XPath) rules to meet complex organizational validation requirements. Users can also logically group validation rules into “AND/OR” combinations.

XPath and Logical AND/OR Groupings

Create & Manage Multiple Rule Files for Multiple Projects

Create and manage separate rule files for different projects, ensuring that each project has its own validation requirements.

Validate Documents

Check SGML & XML Content for Errors

Quickly validate documents against your organization’s QA standards. From simple to complex rules checking, authors can implement a standard without any coding, yet have the piece of mind that SGML and XML documents maintain and pass the quality standards that they want enforced.

Automate the Validation Process

Create content rules in the graphical interface, select the SGML or XML document to validate and Advisor takes care of the rest. Authors no longer have to manually check each and every SGML and XML document. The SGML and XML Quality Assurance process is transferred from man to machine.

Review Content Error Reports

Advisor automatically generates a report containing the specific content errors with a document. The report specifies which rule was broken and details the exact line where the error occurs. Authors can quickly and easily use the information to make the required alterations to ensure that the document conforms to the business rules.

Print Details on Content Discrepancies

Print detailed information on content discrepancies for tracking and heightened accountability. Users can create an entire detailed history of their QA process.
