Tests are important in development, but they +are particularly important when you're creating interoperable standards. The difference between a standard and +a random piece of paper isn't that the standard was blessed by a special standards organization — there are +plenty of worthlessly blessed pieces of paper out there — but rather that the standard has a comprehensive test +suite passed by multiple independent production-quality implementations. + +With this in mind, we're excited to also support [Cole](https://hypha.coop/people/#Cole%20Anthony%20Capilongo) +(from the mighty [Hypha](https://hypha.coop/) working on a test suite for [DASL](https://dasl.ing/)'s +[dCBOR42](https://dasl.ing/dcbor42.html) (an interoperable subset of IPLD for deterministic data encoding) and +[CIDs](https://dasl.ing/cid.html) (a usable subset of IPFS CIDs). Cole will exercise the tests against +multiple implementations and help us fix bugs in the specifications too. It's going to be +fantestic. + + And beyond that, stay tuned: we will have more annoucements coming.
