OGC Test-Suite with public web services (WPS, WMS, ...)

[cehbrecht]

OGC could provide a test-suite with public available OWS web services (WPS, WMS, ...) which can be used for OWS client tests (OWSLib, Birdy, Phoenix, ...):

• services could be provides as (docker) containers.
• could be hosted in the cloud.
• should be reliable.
• available for common protocols (WPS, WMS, WFS, WCS, ...) and versions (wps 1.0.0, wps 2.0.0).
• Services/Dockerfiles are versioned (public Git repo).

To make the service response more predictable the service URL should also have the version number of the service/container version, something like this:

Not exactly what you propose @cehbrecht , but there is a standard test suite at OGC. I'm not super familiar with this, but we could quite easily get help from an expert to set this up. http://cite.opengeospatial.org/teamengine/

I would add that the tests should expose various file formats (mimetypes).
How do we move this forward ? As a TB15 proposal ?
