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 -- Milos Sramek, msramek22@gmail.com
