Service Data Object Community Test Suite (SDO CTS)

The SDO CTS provides a set of test that exercise any SDO 2.1 implementation. The tests validate an SDO implementation behaves as expected, according to the community's understanding of the SDO specification.

Why have a CTS

The SDO CTS enables developers to choose or switch SDO implementations without the concern of having to re-code a significant proportion of their application due to differences between implementations. This community test suite is initially focues on areas seen as important to developers of SDO applications.

Over time this will grow to include a larger proportion of the SDO specification according to the community's desire. The SDO CTS does not claim to be a validation or compliancy suite, nor does it endorse any specific implementation.

If the SDO specification appears ambiguous or unclear then the community may decide what to do; it could decide to test the area with an agreed expected behaviour, or decide not to test this area. Ambiguities will be fed back to the specification group for clarification.

Help us make this suite more valuable

SDO users feedback and involvement would be greatly appreciated. Tell us what is important to you, and if you can provide test cases.

Start by sending an email to the Tuscany Users <tuscany-user at ws.apache.org> mailing list, if possible add a [SDO CTS] at the start of the subject line to make it easier to spot.

If you already have suitable test cases that you'd like to contribute, then go ahead and open an improvement in our tracking system.
