Notes from meeting:

Areas Discussed: metadata, coverage, tracking last chkpt for GL#3
Question: Do you need extra chkpt for GL#3
GL#3 could conflict with GL#7

Discussed GL#4 - Test Execution at length.
Different options - golden-file comparison, another where tests 
themselves should report results.
The automation should check for images as well. All systems should 
exhibit the same result format.
Should be traceable.

Discussed GL#5 - Preparation of Test Materials before Publishing.
- This could interfere with OpsGL (talks about soliciting materials)
- Define a concrete Review Process, where every test is approved and 
status reported.
- A review status should be associated with each test
- Test materials - should have a test plan,publication, test results 
should talk about errata.
- Document the test materials
- Packaging the tests. Process should be clear
- Tar/Zip file should be sufficient to meet the guidelines
- Integration Testing - Testing individual components
- Feedback Mechanism should be established -
- Provide a mechanism for publishing periodic updates of the testsuite.

Discuss GL#6 - Reporting Test Results
(to be continued in the next meeting)
