VAST Samples for QA and Integration Testing

This repository contains a set of static VAST XML files that can be used for:

• Manual QA of VAST URL input fields
• Integration testing with ad servers / bidders
• Player behavior testing (different durations, formats, bitrates)
• Error handling and edge-case validation

All files are designed to be served as static assets (e.g. via GitHub Pages) and referenced directly as VAST URLs.

Files Overview

File name	Type	Description
vast-ok-30s.xml	Inline, valid	Simple 30s MP4 video, single media file
vast-ok-15s.xml	Inline, valid	Simple 15s MP4 video, single media file
vast-multi-mediafiles.xml	Inline, valid	Multiple media files with different MIME types and bitrates
vast-broken.xml	Invalid XML	Intentionally broken XML structure
vast-wrapper.xml	Wrapper, valid	VAST wrapper pointing to another VAST tag
vast-no-mediafiles.xml	Inline, bad	No <MediaFiles> section inside <Linear>
vast-no-duration.xml	Inline, bad	<Duration> is missing
vast-http-mediafile.xml	Inline, mixed	Media file served over HTTP instead of HTTPS

You can use these VAST tags to verify:

• Basic happy-path behavior (vast-ok-*.xml)
• Handling of multiple formats and bitrates
• How the system reacts to malformed VAST or missing fields
• How the system treats non-HTTPS media URLs
• Wrapper VAST handling (if supported by your stack)

Usage with GitHub Pages

1. Create a public GitHub repository, for example: vast-samples.
2. Place all .xml files in the repository root.
3. Go to Settings → Pages:
   • Source: Deploy from a branch
   • Branch: main
   • Folder: / (root)
4. After the deployment completes, your files will be available at:
