I'm already thinking about tests [0]. All clients would share the same test suite.
I'm working on the pattern spec now [1]. When that's ready, it should be clear how this will all come together. This spec is like 80% of 2.0. It's in a very rough and early stage right now, so it may be confusing. Going to put some more time on it today and maybe move it to the wiki.

A small subset comes with the classifier JUnit tests while the W3C DDR implementation contains a small test equivalent of devicemap-data for test purposes and some UA signatures. Testing against the actual devicemap-data if any other tests do that (at least that URL in the classifier tests sounds like it) is strictly speaking already an "integration test" and for something like that or a "W3C compatibility test kit" (similar to what JCP standards do) we should have separate tests, not mix them with unit tests only testing the internals of a library or client.
