child_count_is($xml, $count, $desc);

Test passes if the XML string in $xml contains exactly $count number of the child elements. Describe or name the test with $name.

is_empty($xml, $desc);

Test passes if the XML string in $xml is empty. $desc is description of the test

has_attributes($xml, $desc);

Test passes if the XML string in $xml contains any attributes. Describe or name the test with $name.

has_no_attrib($xml, $desc);

Test passes if the XML string in $xml does not contain any attributes. Describe or name the test with $name.

number_of_attribs($xml, $count, $desc);

Test passes if the XML string in $xml contains exactly $count number of the attributes. Describe or name the test with $name.

attrib_value($xml, $name, $value, $desc);

Test passes if the XML string in $xml contains attribute with name $name and its value as $value. Describe or name the test with $name.

nth_child_name($xml, $count, $name, $desc);

Test passes if the XML string in $xml contains any direct Nth child element with tag or gi value as $name and location at $count. Name or Describe the test with $desc.

all_children_are($xml, $name, $desc);

Test passes if the XML string in $xml contains all direct child element with tag or gi value as $name. Name or Describe the test with $desc.
