Since I've begun working with COLLADA I haven't really found any good software for it. I thought for new developers it would be good to compiler a list. Today I found some intriguing leads, so I thought I'd start some.
Conformance Tests

^For developers this may have some examples covering many use cases, and if you can set it up, a way to automatically run a battery of tests against your software.
FX Support. Claims extensive COLLDA support
https://developer.nvidia.com/fx-composer
^I haven't found any software that acknowledges the FX parts of COLLADA. Hopefully this will be just the thing. I still don't know how to round-trip it, since other software I know of just does lossy import/export. Maybe we will find enough software to cobble together a functional tool chain. If not we just have to invent one![]()
