Henry Story commented on CLEREZZA-479:
--------------------------------------
WebId is a cross platform authentication protocol. People who login to clerezza
with a WebId should be able to login to any other WebID compliant system too.
Since not
everybody is going to be using Clerezza, initially at least, we should help the
others built test suites that produce the same output as this one, so that
server
testers can be deployed to test the functionality of any clerezza instance and
build comparative reports for them. And of course if someone else writes a
better
WebId implementation than this one according to these tests then it will help
admins make informed choices.
As a result the tests that can be used for the WebID tests in clerezza should
later also be good to test any other WebId implementation.
Also building distributed test suites could be very useful, so that no instance
can put out predetermined results for the testing agents.

> We need a test suite to be able to help work out where WebID authentication
> fails. This can be useful in a number of ways:
> 1. for helping developers and end users work out where a problem lies
> 2. to build test suites to test the local webid implementations.
> For 2 the result should be marked up so as to show what tests succeeded and
> where the error occurred using an ontology to be specified on the w3c webid
> working group. This will then allow other robot services to be created which
> can the send requests, broken or valid, and check if the results are correct.
