Hello folks, I'm writing to you on behalf of the XKMS WG. As you may know it, this Monday we published the XKMS CR[1]. Dominique Hazel-Massieux advised us to write you to get some guidance and benefit from your experience. XKMS can be seen as two set of web services, X-KISS that allows to retrieve and process information stored in <ds:keyInfo> elements and X-KRSS for maintaining public-key information (generate, revoke, reissue) operations. The web services are described as protocols and have a SOAP/1.2 bindings. The protocols have a common set of functionalities. For example, the response can be sent asychronously or synchronously, one can do a two-phase message exchange, send multiple requests (compounded). So far some developers have been contributing test cases, that is XKMS protocols exchanges between a client and a server that they are using during their development[2,3]. We would like to have your tips in knowing how best to organize those test cases into a sensible test suite. If you have some tools available for testing protocols, they would be useful. The idea I had was to have a common set of public key vectors and a set of tests that can be run thru a script. The result of the tests will help us fill the interoperability matrix and fulfill our entrance criteria to PR. Many thanks in advance for any feedback you can give us. If appropriate, we can invite someone from your WG to participate in one of the XKMS teleconferences to discuss these problems. -jose [1] http://www.w3.org/2001/XKMS/ [2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xkms/2004Mar/0005.html [3] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xkms/2004Mar/0020.html
