First, because it would relieve developers from interpreting the spec where good tests are available ; second, because once you have a test suite, any modification to the specs will have to pass the tests first, or redefine some test. The FEP process is supposed to be a way to modify the core specifications. Once we have a working test suite, we can test all implementations against it and bring each project to compliance. Then we can think of moving other bricks. The test suite is written in Guile scheme, which nobody since its first release tried to review or convert. Some people proposed to work on it, but it was not followed up so far. See https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/the-activitypub-test-suite/290 The closest thing to a test suite would be dansup's FediDB test suite. Note that the NGI Zero consortium would happily fund an ActivityPub test suite if that would help the community. == hk
