Your second option, I think, is covered in other documents (Process for submitting and Build for building/checking out and so forth) which should perhaps be in a separate document. Main things to be taken up in the document would be: 1. Identify what is being tested 2. Describe expected results 3. Description of the tests for matrix purposes 4. How we deal with programmatic constructs in DOM TS ML > Any thoughts? > > --Mary > >> /Dimitris >> >> >
