APP interop event day #1

Day one of the Atom Publishing Protocol (APP) interop event was a success, at least from my point-of-view. I was able to test the Propono client against Blogger.com/GData, AOL Journals and an implementation from Oracle. I found and fixed problems in Roller's APP implementation. Plus, it was great to meet all of the good folks implementing Atom and to get a close look at the Google campus. I'm getting ready to drive back to Google now so... gotta go.

Check out Tim Bray's blog for some photos of the event.

I'm interested in finding out what sort of methodology/tools/etc comes out of this interop-testing-fest. Can use use it to test other webby interfaces besides APP?

The testing was pretty ad hoc. We drew the interop grid on the white-board, tested clients against servers and filled in the squares. I believe Tim Bray's Atom Protocol Exerciser was the only automated test suite.
