At Coversant we have testing software we use with SoapBox Server that could pretty easily be adapted (with something like a SoC project) to work with any server. Remind me and I'll show it off to the guys at the interop event.
Included in our automated testing suite are things like which JEP and section a certain piece of code is testing, what features a server needs to support in order for the test to work, etc. At this point it's all internal, but we've talked about contributing it as a basis for an official JSF test suite. Of course, it's C#, but does run in both Mono and MS.NET frameworks on Linux or Windows. -JD -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephan Maka Sent: Tuesday, July 18, 2006 6:50 PM To: Jabber software development list Subject: Re: [jdev] Certification of XMPP compatibility of clients,servers and other software which uses XMPP Peter Saint-Andre wrote: > > [...] In the last time I saw a lot XMPP incompatible clients.

As different server implementations show different behaviour, it is useful to test them, too.

Is there testing software already? Possibly extensible? Stephan. [0] http://wiki.jabber.org/index.php/Summer_of_Code_2006_Project_Ideas#Gener ic_Server_Work
