I think an interoperability test suite would be more useful over a longer period of time, and would accomplish a lot of the same goals. If we had a client/server test framework, it would be possible for companies to submit tests to the suite. Then other interested parties could run the tests against their products. In addition, a test suite is the best way of determining if the protocol is complete, consistent, implementable, and in some sense, useful. IBM is thinking about creating the basis of such a suite, and would like to make it open-source so others could contribute. Again, webdav.org would be the logical place to host and deploy it.Received on Friday, 24 September 1999 15:36:37 GMT
