doyouspeakOCCI is a Google App Engine (GAE)-based checking tool for the Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) family of specifications. More specifically, it provides a full compliance test suite for the OCCI Core (GFD.183), OCCI Infrastructure (GFD.184), and OCCI RESTful HTTP Rendering (GFD.185) specifications.
doyouspeakOCCI is written in Python and heavily building on the GAE services, mainly Task Queue, URL Fetch, and the webapp Framework.
Note that doyouspeakOCCI is not to be considered the "official" testing suite for OCCI endorsed by the Open Grid Forum, but rather than that, a third-party contribution which aims to be as close as possible. For a more thorough explanation, please take a look at the wiki pages.
doyouspeakOCCI was hard to implement, but is simple to use. Just point your browser to http://doyouspeakocci.appspot.com, enter the base URL of your OCCI implementation, and press "Go!".
Optionally, you can provide credentials for HTTP basic auth, if your service is secured. We strongly recommend to use a one-time test account; although we promise to use the credentials only for the compliance test, we cannot guarantee what others on the way (especially GAE) will do with them.
Please note that doyouspeakOCCI records data on every test run in the GAE DataStore. This is done solely for the sake of displaying usage statistics. Within the limitations of applicable jurisdiction and the GAE Terms of Service, we will not disclose this data to anyone beyond what is being displayed on the doyouspeakOCCI web presence.
