Re: Initial XML-based testcase definitions

Hi Eric,
Sure I can talk about it some tomorrow during the call.      And yes, I 
agree that we need to start to fill out the rest of the pieces.    First, 
I wanted to make sure we were all on the same page with the format, etc. 
before going too far with it all.

Re: Initial XML-based testcase definitions



Hi Phil,

This looks to be a good start.

Looking through it, and the WS-Addressing work here: 
http://dev.w3.org/2004/ws/addressing/testsuite/ it is starting to feel to 
me like we need to put together some of the other pieces that you can find 
with WS-Addressing.  For example, if our test cases reference features, 
then those feature identifiers should be tied back to the original 
locations in the documents, like the WS-Addressing equivalent (
http://dev.w3.org/2004/ws/addressing/testsuite/features/, and 
http://dev.w3.org/2004/ws/addressing/testsuite/features/features.xml).

Do you think we're headed down that path?

I'm hoping you're prepared to discuss the proposed XML format tomorrow, 
during our weekly call?

Thanks.

-Eric.

Hi everyone, 
Attached is a zip file containing what I have done so far with defining 
testcases in a format modelled after the WS-Addressing test suite.     The 
main file to focus on at this point would be testcases/testcases.xml 
inside the zip file.    This file contains the definition of the 
individual testcases.   In the same directory is testcases.xslt which is 
used to produce HTML from the XML file.   I haven't worked all the kinks 
out of that yet so I haven't tried to actually process the XML file with 
xslt yet.    But I wanted to get this out ASAP so folks could take a look 
at the testcase definitions at least.      My intent would be to 
eventually have a set of testcases documented similar to the WS-Addressing 
test suite, located here: 
http://dev.w3.org/2004/ws/addressing/testsuite/testcases/ 



Let me know if you have any comments on what I've done so far.
