Day before yesterday I released the Basic LTI LMS certification draft materials. I now have the draft materials for the Basic LTI Tool Provider certification. This certification is a little less locked down because it requires hand checking of tool behavior since all tools are different. This test is a good unit test – it walks the tool through lots of combinations of present and absent parameters. It also sends multiple varieties of role strings and also sends broken launches to allow error testing.
Here is some documentation for the procedure:

Here is a cool video that I made of my Wisdom of Crowds tool passing the certification test:
