Dear Occi-Wg members, this is my first email to the mailinglist, let me introduce myself. I'm Gabriele Giammatteo and I'm a researcher in the cloud technologies field at Engineering Group [0]. I and my colleague Roberto Ciotti are currently working in an EU research project [1] where we have some resources to develop compliance tools for cloud standards. We are looking at OCCI as first standard to cover and at the testsuite included in the occi-wg repository [2] as codebase for developing a compliance tool. We are willing to contribute to extend/complete this testsuite if needed, but before, being new to this group, I'd like to ask some questions to know the status and the "history" of this testsuite. a) I can see that last relevant commit on the code [3] is about two years old. Is this code abandoned or its development is complete? Or the development is continuing in another repository? b) The set of tests defined covers already all aspects of the standard or there is room for new tests? If yes, which ones could be the most interesting to implement? c) Is anybody currently doing (or planning to do) any further development on it? We could be in touch in order to coordinate the efforts. d) Do you have any suggestion for improvements/new tests we can start from? Thank you very much in advance for your replies, and, of course any additional comment and/or suggestion is more than welcome!
