      2. The Service Status Checker carries out a set of standard tests on each service type. One of these tests gets scored for Speed performance and reliability.

  2. How can I provide my service list for testing in archive mode? What is the correct format?

      3. To test your services in archive mode, the Service Status Checker needs an atom feed in the following format:

        <feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
          <entry>
            <id>{unique id}</id>
            <title>{title}</title>
            <serviceType>{service type}</serviceType>
            <serviceUrl>k {service URL}</serviceUrl>
            [other service type specific information may be added.]
          </entry>
        </feed>

      Duplicate the <entry> tag for each service that you want the Service Status Checker to test and score. Once you have created this feed, notify the service status checker team with the internet location of your ATOM feed.
