The following are some tests that were performed, beside those of the end user:
In 2004 a street name check was verified between the State Highway Centerline and that of Howard County's.
Street names and address ranges were verified by many different sources, including a criss-cross directory before the data set was officially used in the 911 dispatch center. Errors were corrected. See lineage for time-line.
Topological errors may be discovered by the end user as well. When the file maintenance was handed over to 911 (see lineage) the file was cleaned by a contractor. The file is also used for routing in 911. Tests were performed and errors were corrected (the file out of 911 does not currently contain attribution suitable for routing).
