Description

This repository has a great suite of registry conformance tests. What it is missing, though, if I'm not mistaken, are conformance tests for clients. I took a look at some clients and none of them fully conformed to the protocol defined in the distribution spec. A client conformance test suite would help immensely adapting existing clients and building new ones that follow this spec.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing registry conformance test suite and reading the distribution spec's client requirements. Define the client conformance scope and test entry points, then verify that representative clients can run against the suite and that protocol violations are reported clearly.
