SSAP - compliance assurance?

[Ulrike Stampa]

Hi all,

after having followed some of the ongoing discussions about required and
supported parameters in the ssap I wondered if there is a way to
guarantee that registered SSA services are actually compliant to the
standard. Does anything like test cases (e.g. a collection of
HTTP-queries together with their expected results) for the newest
version exist already? Is there some authority to check the compliance
of newly-registered services or is it completely up to the developper's
responsibility? Of course these test cases would only cover  "formal
compliance" of the interface (like checking  of input parameters, 
acceptance of mandatory parameters, returning error messages etc.) not
the correct behaviour of the service itself!
As I am presently trying to test my newly written SSAP service, it would
help me a lot to make sure that my service is really compliant.

If this topic is covered in some other document already I would be
grateful for the hint.

Thanks
