Raj,

OGC access control over the CITE tests is now blocking adoption of
automated CITE tests for GeoServer. Have you made any progress in
getting anonymous SVN access to the CITE test suite from your IT
department? I have included below your email from October 2009 (we spoke
about this at FOSS4G) and a sample of last week's discussion on the
geoserver-devel list.

By the way, we (AuScope/SISS/ASRDC) have obtained a substantial
reference data set for complex feature WFS. I have one of our engineers
working to map it with GeoServer. My plan is that it could form the
basis of an OGC implementation-independent complex feature WFS CITE
test. I mentioned my plan to you at FOSS4G; now we have the data, sample
queries, and sample instance documents, and are trying to get GeoServer
to produce them. Here is a bit of the plan:

Kind regards,
Ben.

Hi Ben. Good to meet you at the conference last week. I'll probably be
getting back to you on other issues soon, but I wanted to let you know
that anonymous CITE SVN access is "coming soon" according to our IT
staff. Also, the OWS-7 RFQ is out:

Talk soon.

Issues with teamengine:
- to run as part of a maven build we'd need to package up
    and put on repositories the engine and the test suite.
    This is redistribution. Is that something we can do?
    If we cannot, I guess we can still resort to some form
    of private sharing, marking those jars as "provided"
    and giving to a selected number of people the files along
    with the instructions to install them in their maven
    repositories.
- the teamengine already has command line utilities to start
    a specific test suite, but I see no way to specify the
    parameters, which are usually asked for in an interactive window.
    I see no easy way to state the test parameters manually.
    This looks like a roadblock
- Once the suite is run we need to collect the results and
    declare victory or failure.
    It's something that can be done by looking into the
    logs, and seems a bit painful, but doable

I believe the teamengine is open source. So I think we should be able
to redistribute, and also make additions to specify parameters. We
could offer these as patches, or in worst case work with a forked
version. I'll ask OGC people.

Yeah, the engine is open source. The test suites themselves are kept in
a separate repo that you can access only if you have been authorized
to, so those might be under a different license.
I looked into the test suite sources and could not find any license
header though, so... dunno. Hopefully OGC people will tell us
how we have to play this one.

Cheers
Andrea
