LO - MSO interoperability test

[Milos Sramek]

Hi,

this is my first post to this ML :)

At the Milano conference I've presented my tools for interoperability
testing
(http://conference.libreoffice.org/talks/2013/content/sessions/009/files/2013-Milano-Sramek.pdf)
. Being influenced by Adam Fyne's talks I've modified them to roundtrip
tests and have used the set of documents he has collected. You can find
the results with description here: https://copy.com/CZ3WBWtpe7jmQeQp
(use LO 4.4.0.0 to 4.4.1.0 to open the spreadsheet - see
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92773).

The tools comprise of a few python and bash scripts and should be run on
Linux and Windows machines. The current tests are focused on LO
interoperability with MSO on the basis of docx documents (roundtrip and
print tests). I can, however,  implement also other test (e.g. MSO or
Google docs vs. LO on the basis of ODT, doc, docx, rtf and other files).
In fact any office software can be used, if it has a commad line
interface for file conversion.

The software is of course open, I just I not distribute it, since it
requires quite complex setup to work with (several computers with LO and
MSO installations).
You can get it, if you want.

If you find this interesting, I can in future run the test for new
releases or simplify it to be used by a developer to compare files
during the develoment process. Or, maybe, we can set up a web service
doing this automatically (processing of all files takes about one day).

I'll gladly answer your questions.

best
Milos
