Testing... What and why we test? What test suites are available and in use? Which test suites are currently being developed? What are the future plans?

Any developer of open systems products must invest in some level of testing during development and QA to ensure compliance to specifications. The Open Group test suites enable such companies to share the cost of test suite development and maintenance, across the industry , yielding lower testing costs and a higher and more uniform level of conformance between products.
