Hi All,
I was curious what compatibility tests are being run to ensure that LibO
displays ODF accurately.
There exists no reference implementation for ODF.
I had asked a similar question a few days back
on the LibO QA mailing list but never got a response. Is there an
archive of standard compliant odf 1.0/1.1 and 1.2 files that is
available? Alternatively, is there an ODF test to validate if a ODF file
outputted by an ODF compatible software complies to the ODF standard and
can output the file as a pdf to show how it should be rendered, somewhat
similar to the Acid test for CSS.
Please keep in mind, that LibreOffice writes "ODF1.2 extended" as
default. That contains more than currently specified in ODF1.2. Likely
not all, but the most differences are documented in
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/ODF_Implementer_Notes
As part of my extensive testing of .docx files in LibO, i'm currently
testing ODF outputted by LibO to see how well its imported into Word
2010 and 2013, as well as testing ODF outputted by Word 2010 and 2013 to
see how well its imported into LibO. It would be nice to have a ODF
software that i could use its output as a reference to compare these
results against, as i've found ODF outputted by word 2010 that doesnt
open correctly in LibO but did in Calligra Words and i've also found ODF
files on libreoffice.org that displayed differences in LibO 4.1 and 4.2.
Currently if a .doc, .docx or .rtf loads different between LibO and ms
word, i report these bugs, but if there are load differences for .odt
files its difficult to know if its a LibO or ms word problem.
Perhaps validator
http://odf-validator2.rhcloud.com/odf-validator2/
or
http://officeshots.org/
might help.
For MS Word you should consider the information from Microsoft as well.

The normative reference is the spec itself.
https://www.oasis-open.org/standards#opendocumentv1.2
If you cannot resolve it using the spec, you can write to
opendocument-us...@lists.oasis-open.org, or if you can already point to
the place where something is not precise enough specified write to
office-comm...@lists.oasis-open.org.
Or write an issue about the difference and attach a small(!) test
document. Some people here are involved in the OASIS OpenDocument TC.
Kind regards
Regina
