LH: About the draft letter for the call. Are we fine? We should send it
today.

4.) Any SpecGL topics
- Schedule/deadline for final SpecGL text
- new p-m-l diagrams [1]
LH: We have done a good job on Spec GL. We have a good chance to have
the disposition of comments document ready by next week. Mark has to
produce a Test Assertions document.
MS: It's a huge task
LH: yes
DM: ??? talking about DOV
DH: Yes DOV are now on 2.2.6
5.) TestGL topics
- Proposed topics [2]
- J.Carroll issues thread [3]
- Ref. New TestGL text [6a]
- Ref. Annotated Crete TestGL minutes [6b]
- Ref. TestGL issues list [6c]
LH: We move to listen Patrick for Test GL topics.
PC: Should we actively ask for People previous experiences in the W3C
WG.
MS: We do not have so much time, but I'm not quite sure how we would be
able to incorporate them in TestGL.
LH: We could have done more, but we have done more than what has been
said by Jeremy. We proposed two times to the OWL WG to review our
stuff, they refused.
We are talking about publishing a Last Call soon.
MS: We want at least have information from the test leaders verbally or
written.
KD: We have a list, if we send mails to Test Leaders, we should have
precise questions.
PC: I would prefer a teleconf to have precise answers.
LH: That's a good idea, PC. We have been talking about going to Last
Call in november 2003.
PC: I would prefer to have people on a call and to ask them what do
they think about our document and not wait only Last Call.
MS: The ideal situation would not be to restrict the discussion to the
test leaders. But we take the chance to limit the completion of the
document.
LH: We will miss resources to have an ideal method.
PC: Maybe we can do both. That our document is a way to approach the
testing, but we would like to have another view.
LH: It would be good to have different point of views. Let's use the
next WD as a platform for a pro-active discussion.
Test Driven Development
PC: Jeremy Caroll has raised the issue that our guidelines are
waterfall model based, as the tests come after the spec. But maybe
sometimes our GL are too oriented as Jeremy presented it. We don't say
in our charter that we only do conformance testing. should we broaden
the scope by addressing quality testing?
MS: We are encouraging people to do in a certain way.
DH: W3C WGs will be interested as much by interoperability testing and
conformance testing.
KD: We should look at the Test GL and show that it's not incompatible
with other methodologies, and if there's an incompatibilty we should
address it.
DM: I don't think we should encourage XP for Spec Development.
LH: Issues drive for tests, but tests drive for issues as well. SVG has
a new rule, when you propose a new syntax it has to come with the test
case. The way the SVG TS has been used as an interoperability TS even
if it has been designed as a conformance TS.
DH: We should not restrict ourselves to Conformance Materials, but
there might be also interoperability tests. We should try as much as
possible to stay very generic.
MS: Conformance is one of the thing that contribute to interoperability
tests.
PC: There are some areas where XP will be beneficial.
LH: We could in the discussion and scope the different possibilities.
KD: We should do a TS to test Test Guidelines. Something like each CP
we are writing to test them against different kind of development of
test materials.
PC: I agree that we should not put barriers for other methodologies.
MS: We are trying to have a document which adresses Spec and
Implementation.
LH: The end result is important, but there's more than one way to get
there.
KD: PC, Could you make a list of comments that will show what are the
issues.
PC: Yes there are a few issues, for example, in the text we could
encourage a bit more early testing.
