I think this is similar to what happens in the Java Community Process with TCKs. "One of the three required pieces for each JSR is the Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK). A TCK is a suite of tests, tools and documentation that determines whether or not a product complies with a particular Java™ technology specification. A TCK must be included in a final Java technology release under the direction of its Expert Group." Quoted from http://jcp.org/en/resources/tdk http://jcp.org/en/resources/tdk
