OK. 'techniques' is currently optional; it can contain multiple 'technique' elements. Can you have an EARL statement that does not 'Test'? >* Result - has the following parts: >+ Validity - pass/fail from the TCDL "rules" (?) rules/rule/locations/@expectedResult >+ Instances - pointers from the TCDL "locations" OK. >+ Message - human readable error message > >Ideally the error message is also somewhere in the TCDL but I am not sure >where. IMO, all the required info should be available in the TCDL and >generating EARL reports should be as simple as an XSLT file or similar >mechanism for translation. We don't have real error messages in TCDL, but 'description' combined with 'purpose' would be very informative. However, 'purpose' is not necessarily written in the kind of language we would expect in an error message. >>This maybe raises an issue of either developing a mapping document of >>TCDL-EARL either a kind of integration.

Well, XSLT (mentioned above) is a kind of mapping, isn't it? ;-) Best regards, Christophe -- Christophe Strobbe K.U.Leuven - Departement of Electrical Engineering - Research Group on Document Architectures Kasteelpark Arenberg 10 - 3001 Leuven-Heverlee - BELGIUM tel: +32 16 32 85 51 http://www.docarch.be/ Disclaimer: http://www.kuleuven.be/cwis/email_disclaimer.htm
