Test/Validate SCORM objects?

Question

I maintain a large (~5000 document) repository of educationally-useful works. I am already packaging them as ePubs and would like to package them as SCORM objects as well. I've added basic SCORM features the to epubs I'm generating, but I'm finding the standard SCORM tools difficult to use to determine whether I'm getting it right. For ePubs validity, I used epubchecker( https://github.com/IDPF/epubcheck), which fulfilled the requirements quit well.

Can someone tell me whether there's a way to validate the SCORM object or is out there any Library created suitable for SCORM validation?

The ADL test suite is the only official testing system. Unfortunately it's not very robust, and is known to be cranky. It's also Windows only.

In my experience, the best checker is SCORM Cloud over at scorm.com. It will test your package for conformance, and provides very detailed logs for troubleshooting.

It requires uploading to a 3rd party, so it won't be appropriate in some use cases. SCORM Cloud is free for testing purposes but costs money if deploying the courses to students.
