Nik Mitev provides support for eduroam UK, which distributes authentication to member organizations and tests compliance with technical specifications. The latest additions include moving from one authentication mechanism to another, adding generic port testing of required open ports using plain TCP/UDP, and adding a random offset to the timing of tests. Issues being worked on include port testing being problematic behind NAT devices, lack of remote access for troubleshooting, and options for remotely keeping probes updated.
