It seems like Sidar are in the middle. Hera collects information at a checkpoint level, although in some cases there are several tests done per checkpoint. The goal is to collect more detailed information, for the kind of use cases Shadi described. One of the important questions, then, is whether the following is reasonable <e:Assertion r:about="#passed"> <e:testSubject r:resource="#subject"/> <e:result r:parseType="Resource"> <r:type r:resource="&ns;pass"/> <d:description r:parseType="Literal"> <p xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><a href="http://example.org/tests">Automated Test Cases</a> 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10 all passed. No regression problems.</p> <e:testCase r:resource="&tests;1" /> <e:testCase r:resource="&tests;2" /> <e:testCase r:resource="&tests;4" /> <e:testCase r:resource="&tests;5" /> <e:testCase r:resource="&tests;9" /> <e:testCase r:resource="&tests;10" /> <e:mode r:resource="&ns;automatic" /> </e:Assertion> <r:Bag r:ID="subject"> <r:li r:resource="&subj;A" /> <r:li r:resource="&subj;B" /> <r:li r:resource="&subj;C" /> <r:li r:resource="&subj;D" /> <r:li r:resource="&subj;E" /> <r:li r:resource="&subj;F" /> <r:li r:resource="&subj;G" /> </r:Bag> This is already a lot less verbose than what Hera produces. Compress it and you have quite a small amount of data (although clearly non-zero). It is also possible to make an aggregate result, such as "no regression properties", or "WCAG 1.0 double-A conformance" and say <e:Assertion r:about="#compact"> <e:testSubject r:resource="#subject"/> <e:result r:type="&ns;pass" /> <e:testCase r:resource="&tests;nr" /> <e:mode r:resource="&ns;automatic" /> <s:seeAlso r:resource="#passed" /> </e:Assertion> Do these approaches break anything? I think you can have multiple subjects and tests pretty meaningfully. I don't think you want to have multiple results in teh general case (I will write about a specific case where you may want to do that in another context) and I don't think it makes sense to have multiple modes mixed together. cheers Chaals -- Charles McCathieNevile chaals@opera.com hablo español - je parle français - jeg lærer norsk Here's one we prepared earlier: http://www.opera.com/download
