Let me quote Edsger Dijkstra:

"Program testing can be a very effective way to show the presence of
bugs, but it is hopelessly inadequate for showing their absence. "

A failure in your test will show that the implementation is not OCCI
complient.  A successful run says it might be OCCI compliant, or not
:-)

Either way, nice job!

Best, Andre.
