Uploading and Testing APS Packages

Prior to running tests over an APS Package it has to be uploaded. To upload an APS package, it has to include the name of the Packager you are allowed to represent (see Software Packager Information in APS Package Specification).

To test an APS Package, perform the following steps:

Login into APS Certification System.
Click Upload new package button.
Select APS package file, leave empty Commercial name field, then click Upload button. If the APS package is valid, certification tests will be scheduled.
If the APS Package is not valid, an error message will display and the package will not be uploaded.

Note: You cannot upload an APS package with the same name, version and release twice. To certify newer version of package it’s recommended a version/release number has to be increased.
When the test is complete, you will see Finished in the Status field, and the page will display the detailed results for each test (see Viewing Test Results).

Note: Depending on the APS package size and system load, it may take up to 2 hours to finish all tests. You will be notified with email upon completion.
