CUPS/IPP Printer Conformance

[Justin Snapp]

Good afternoon.

My team and I have been tasked with developing a CUPS/IPP conformance test to be used for our upcoming printers still in testing.

I have noticed that the /test/ folder includes several scripts that we might be able to use.  Are there any documentation that explains the capabilities of the scripts?  The .test files are written in a language for which there is no reference document for.  We need to know how to use the commands that are used to write the .test files.

Before we were tasked with developing a new system, we used to use a product called Genoa IPP Expert Test Suite.  They have discontinued the software several years ago.  Now we are in need of a test suite that will test all parts of CUPS, IPP 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, and 2.1.

Obviously, we could use some direction on how to move forward.

Summary:
1)  Can we use the /test/ scripts to test all functions of CUPS and IPP?  Are there .test documents we can use to reference?
2)  If not, do you know a 3rd party solution that would take the place of the Genoa IPP Expert Test Suite?

Thank you all so much.  We look forward to your responses.
