QAWG -- We decided to deal with the unquantifiable and unverifiable "each behavior or requirement" in the previous Priority 1 "Examples" checkpoint by splitting into two ckpts. Here is what it looks like -- a little weaker than it sounded on telecon, but it does solve the "each" problem... Checkpoint 1.3. Provide examples. [Priority 1] [@@revised0819]Illustrate behaviors or requirements in the specification by short and precise examples. The more numerous the examples, the better it is for the specification's comprehensibility. Specifications should illustrate every major feature by example, although the satisfaction of this checkpoint does not impose any specific relationship between examples, on the one hand, and features or requirements. Checkpoint 1.4. Ensure that every test assertion is covered by an example. [Priority 3] Whereas the previous checkpoint can be satisfied by a collection of examples with any relationship to the requirements and behaviors of the specification, this checkpoint requires that there be a mapping from each test assertion in the specification to an example. The relationship of test assertions to examples need not be one-to-one, however examples should be short and precise, for clarity and comprehensibility. -Lofton.
