Interop Scenarios and Test Cases - Editorial Ownership (AI 221)

Hi,

 

As discussed on the WG call yesterday the editors have taken ownership for
future maintenance of the

Interop Scenarios documents that were submitted with
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0143.html>
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jan/0143.html 

 

Please refer to the related WG Action Item on the Editors ACTION-221
<http://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/wspolicy/actions/221> .

 

The Interop Scenario documents and related test case files are now checked
into 

WS-Policy WG CVS workspace and can be found at: 

http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2006/ws/policy/interop/
<http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2006/ws/policy/interop/>  

 

In the editors' call yesterday we discussed this topic and the following
issues that the 

WG should be aware of and make a conscious decision on, came up:

 

1.       Is there an alternative document template for test cases?

      e.g. like what WSDL groups has

2.       Should the WG use a framework for test case development?

3.       Who would prepare such a framework?

4.       Who would maintain the framework?

5.       Who would contribute test cases that conform to the framework?

6.       What is the schedule for such a test case framework?

7.       What is the additional cost imposed by a test suite framework on
interop implementers?

8.       What is the interaction between a schedule for test suite framework
development and the CR schedule?

9.       What is the minimum needed to declare victory on CR interop
testing?

 

Thanks to Chris for capturing this in a new WG issue 4311
