How would we know whether we had implemented the wire format correctly
or not?

By people reviewing the code, by the coders including references to the spec when coding, by finding out by someone looking at the code later (maybe the incorrect implementation clashes with a new correctly implemented command), by someone executing a non-Derby DRDA tool against Derby, etc.

These are excellent suggestions. I hope that we are able to pursue these
suggestions as a community, these techniques can certainly improve our
DRDA implementation.

Thanks for the conversation, your comments were quite helpful to me!
