Types of tests

test_belongsto.js: A routine test to verify wof:belongsto properties.
- This test envokes a list of wof:id values and the known values in that record's wof:belongsto property. This test should be run locally when updating and rebuilding hierarchies to verify that no values are being stripped out of the wof:belongsto property.
test_isparent.js: A routine test to verify wof:parent_id properties.
- This test envokes a list of wof:id values and the known values in that record's wof:parent_id property. This test should be run locally when updating records to verify that no records are incorrectly given a new wof:parent_id value.

test_lang_names.js: A test to ensure a record or set of records has a name:eng_x_preferred property.
- This test can be used as a one-off to verify a record has a specified property. As it stands, this test checks for the name:eng_x_preferred property, but can be configured to check of other properties.
test_official_lang_names.js: A test to ensure a record or set of records has a wof:lang property, as well as a name:[lang]_x_preferred property for the wof:lang value.
- This test checks for two separate things in a Who's On First record:
  - Verifies that a wof:lang property exists and returns the value of that property.
  - Verifies that a record also has a name:[lang]_x_preferred property, where [lang] is equal to the value of the wof:lang property.
test_superseded_by.js: A test to validate records' wof:superseded_by and wof:superseded properties, by doing the following:
- Checks that a record's (record A) wof:superseded_by value matches the wof:id of an existing record (record B).
- If so, checks that record B's wof:supersedes property value matches record A's wof:id value.
wk_mismatch: (in folder) A test to validate records' wk:* properties, by doing the following:
- Checks that a record's wk:latitude and wk:longitude values fall within it's parent's geometry.
