Subject: RE: [xri] Implementations and Interop
Great proposal! From: Wachob, Gabe
[mailto:gwachob@visa.com] Moving forward, I think it is extremely important that we
have validated multiple interoperable implementations of XRI parsing and
resolution before we should call our specifications final. Toward that end, I
would 1) Like to hear who is implementing the current draft
specifications (and who is these implementations publicly). 2) When we could set up a interop event (probably a
"virtual" event to start) to test both interoperability and to
validate that the specification is understandable and unambiguous. Toward these ends, I have set up a set of pages on
our wiki (linked off of the front page at http://xri.oasis-open.org/xri under
Interop and Conformance Testing). For a "virtual interop" event (which should also
lead to significant feedback on the spec itself), I propose we have
participants set up resolution servers and implement resolution of a variety of
test XRI deployments which excercise multiple features. Participants testing
client implementations should then run all tests against all participants
testing server implementations. I actually think we have some interesting
interop testing issues with proxying and lookahead that we'll have to think
through as we get closer. I propose sometime in late February for this first interop
event - this implies the resolution specification will have settled down a
while before this. I certainly hope this is the case. At some point, we will publish these test
"cases" in some more formal way beyond the wiki. We'll certainly want
to publish *results* moving forward. For those contributing to the spec, I would especially
encourage you to go over to the wiki and start building out the test cases.
This is *absolutely* critical if we are going to have a usable spec in the
wild. THANKS -Gabe
