We have modeled the spectrum of WR135 with a co-moving frame code and then used identical input parameters with a Sobolev-approximation code. Helium lines compare well in strength and shape, while carbon lines are found to be much stronger in the co-moving frame code. The reason for this discrepancy is being investigated. The present comparison shows that tests have to be extended to more complex atomic models and compatibility between different codes should not be taken yet for granted.
