A set of initial, raw tests was provided for review, clarification, and updating at the ODF Plugfest that started today in The Netherlands.
I asked permission to share this information, at the end, below, with the Apache OpenOffice developers list, with the following observations: "I am more interested in the tests than the results for other projects. There is also a desire to foster interoperability in our mutual support for ODF and having the calibration your tests provide is informative. "We can capture the essence of the tests and create bug reports as appropriate for AOO. We can also provide any responses or refined tests that may arise. "It would be great were this a continuing activity and not confined to this week's Plugfest. You can count on cooperation of the Apache OpenOffice project [easy for orcmid to say]. I am confident other ODF-supporting projects are also eager to support any initiative you take in this useful area." The response I received provided more information about the tests, "The tests are being developed on gitlab. The main respository is at https://gitlab.com/odfplugfest/odfautotests There is a branch which is created in preparation of the plugfest by Ben Martin (monkeyiq) at https://gitlab.com/monkeyiq/odfautotests This branch will be cleaned up and merged into the main branch after the plugfest. "For a contuous plugfest we'd need more thought. [...] "Of course you have permission to pass on the message, but please note that the urls are temporary and the results raw. Many applications did not get tested. All input was only ODF 1.2 (some output was 1.1). And some results are present due to server glitches. So some cleanup and especially *interpretation* of the results is needed. "What you can certainly do right now is the build the tester (ant jar) and run it. <https://gitlab.com/odfplugfest/odfautotests/blob/master/doc/01_introduction.md> "Cheers, Jos" -----Original Message----- From: Plugtest ...

This is a large topic and the one for which we have tests at the moment. Some implementations might do poorly in this particular set of tests, but be prefectly fine in other, future, tests. Short explanation of the reports: Each test tests just data fidelity: is the style attribute that goes in, saved back? The tests use named styles. Sometimes a style can seem fine visually, while the named style has not retained the right information. That is considered a failed test. Each test has the ingoing odt linked, as well as the outgoing odt files. There is usually also a pdf available. content.xml and styles.xml are also linked from each test.
