The Interoperability Test Event will take place all day Monday and Tuesday, January 28-29, and Wednesday morning January 30th during CalConnect XXVI, hosted by Oracle in Santa Clara, California. For information about event logistics please see /calconnect26.

At this point we are planning testing in the following areas (Updated 30 November 2012):

  • CalDAV testing:

    • access (basic operations of CalDAV)

    • scheduling

    • sync report

    • mobile

    • managed attachments

    • sharing

  • iSchedule:

    • Server discovery

    • DKIM security latest changes for header normalization

  • Timezone:

    • Service Protocol (new JSON spec)

    • Timezones by Reference

  • VPOLL initial testing

  • Autodiscovery protocol

  • iCalendar:

    • richtext properties (and hashing)

    • iTIP/iMIP

    • jCal, the JSON Format for iCalendar

    • xCal, the XML Format for iCalendar

  • CardDAV testing:

    • generic

    • Sync report

    • mobile

    • vcard 4?

  • CalWS-REST and CalWS-SOAP, the web services protocols for iCalendar and WS-Calendar

In addition, participants may have other areas they wish to test and we will be happy to include them in our planning; the test event registration form provides a place to indicate what you want to test. In all cases at least two participating organizations must be interested in testing a particular area or scenario to form testing pairs.

Your organization need not be a member of CalConnect to participate in an Interoperability Test Event.
