>Can you explain what you mean by "testable assertion"? This term came from work being done by the QAWG and a companion effort of the (generic) Conformance TC of OASIS. You will probably see a formal definition from the QAWG soon. Informally, it is any sentence or equivalent assemblage of words that prescribes the behavior that must be obtained when a stimulus occurs under a certain set of conditions. The associated test would create the conditions, cause the stimulus, and allow capture of the resulting behavior for evaluation. .................David Marston
