[Libreoffice-qa] ODF compatibility tests

[Jay Philips]

Hi All,

I was curious what compatibility tests are being run to ensure that LibO 
displays ODF accurately. I had asked a similar question a few days back 
on the LibO QA mailing list but never got a response. Is there an 
archive of standard compliant odf 1.0/1.1 and 1.2 files that is 
available? Alternatively, is there an ODF test to validate if a ODF file 
outputted by an ODF compatible software complies to the ODF standard and 
can output the file as a pdf to show how it should be rendered, somewhat 
similar to the Acid test for CSS.

As part of my extensive testing of .docx files in LibO, i'm currently 
testing ODF outputted by LibO to see how well its imported into Word 
2010 and 2013, as well as testing ODF outputted by Word 2010 and 2013 to 
see how well its imported into LibO. It would be nice to have a ODF 
software that i could use its output as a reference to compare these 
results against, as i've found ODF outputted by word 2010 that doesnt 
open correctly in LibO but did in Calligra Words and i've also found ODF 
files on libreoffice.org that displayed differences in LibO 4.1 and 4.2. 
Currently if a .doc, .docx or .rtf loads different between LibO and ms 
word, i report these bugs, but if there are load differences for .odt 
files its difficult to know if its a LibO or ms word problem.
