What if the "purpose" appears to be part of the "title" (see WCAG test [1] title of " Test 1 - All img elements have an alt attribute")? [1]: http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/WCAG20/tests/test1.html This might even be a "description" of the test files for this test, because there are two test files given, one having img element containing an alt attribute and one having img element not containing an alt attribute.. As a larger question, it seems to me that filling out entries for "purpose", "description", and some other metadata terms may involve some "duplication" of information in some form (for example, do "purpose" and "description" contain basically the same information in different form, one shorter, one longer?). If this perception is true, the effort for management/classification of test cases/test suites may be increased. Shouldn't each metadata term capture basically "unique" information not replicated elsewhere? What uses does the QAWG plan for this test case metadata? If for classification in a larger test case management system, who will do the classifying (the WGs or the QAWG)? If the WGs, what guidance will be given them? Thanks and best wishes Tim Boland NIST
