[occi-wg] About the OCCI compliance testsuite

[Gabriele Giammatteo]

Dear Occi-Wg members,
    this is my first email to the mailinglist, let me introduce myself. 
I'm Gabriele Giammatteo and I'm a researcher in the cloud technologies 
field at Engineering Group [0]. I and my colleague Roberto Ciotti are 
currently working in an EU research project [1] where we have some 
resources to develop compliance tools for cloud standards.

We are looking at OCCI as first standard to cover and at the testsuite 
included in the occi-wg repository [2] as codebase for developing a 
compliance tool.

We are willing to contribute to extend/complete this testsuite if 
needed, but before, being new to this group, I'd like to ask some 
questions to know the status and the "history" of this testsuite.

a) I can see that last relevant commit on the code [3] is about two 
years old. Is this code abandoned or its development is complete? Or the 
development is continuing in another repository?

b) The set of tests defined covers already all aspects of the standard 
or there is room for new tests? If yes, which ones could be the most 
interesting to implement?

c) Is anybody currently doing (or planning to do) any further 
development on it? We could be in touch in order to coordinate the efforts.

d) Do you have any suggestion for improvements/new tests we can start from?

Thank you very much in advance for your replies, and, of course any 
additional comment and/or suggestion is more than welcome!

Best Regards,
Gabriele Giammatteo
Roberto Ciotti
