Question

ADL Test Suite and SCOs

I have about five lessons that I developed as SCOs (Captive 5.5) followed by a Quiz. The idea is to use the Multi SCO Packager to wrap them as a single course to load onto an LMS. The problem I'm running into is testing the individual SCOs using the ADL Test Suite 1.2.7 and checking for SCORM 1.2 compliancy.

The five lessons do not have questions, is this part of the problem? I do want them listed in the proper order in the manifest so after closing one, the next one launches. So, I publish one lesson and run it through the Test Suite and I get an error message:

ERROR:   Time out exceeded

ERROR:   LMSInitialize() never invoked

ERROR:   Sharable Content Object is Non-Conformant

I used to have no problems before I switched to Cap 5.5 - or is it just me? Please advise. Let me know if you need me to share any files.

TIA!

Forget the ADL test suite.  It's not going to be accurate with current Captivate content.

Test only in SCORM Cloud.

Thanks, Rod, that actually helps alot. My courses have been launching through SCORM Cloud but the ADL Test Suite was throwing me off. Guess I've been out of the loop. I had grown accustomed to getting the validation from the test suite that I was even printing and using them as verification in my deliverables to customers. Got any insight on similar products/applications to use for verifying SCORM-compliancy?

EDIT: I'm looking into SCORM Test Track now. If you know of anything else, I'd appreciate your input. Thanks.

The ADL test suite is now very old and was never really designed for the kind of multimedia content Captivate delivers.  You are far better off using the reports output from SCORM Cloud to verify compliance for your Captivate content.
