This is an excerpt of W3C QA IG F2F minutes of Mandelieu, France, 27/28 February 2006 Each topic indivually given to help the discussion. http://www.w3.org/QA/2006/03/minutes_of_qa_ig_f2f_at_the_w3.html Test Cases Metadata http://www.w3.org/QA/2006/03/minutes_of_qa_ig_f2f_at_the_w3.#test- metadata [35]Test Metadata has been published as a W3C Working Group note in September 2005. The document defines a minimal set of metadata elements that can usefully be applied to tests that are intended for publication within a test suite. We published it quickly. At the time of the publication, it was mentionned that a schema could be useful to help implementers to use it in their tools. Dominique Hazaël-Massieux has suggested that we should start an RDF or XML Schema implementation of these metadata. It should be done in coordination with one or two Working Groups and in the context of a practical use. Mobile Best Practices might be one canditate, and ERT WG with EARL might be another possible implementation of this language. [35] http://www.w3.org/TR/test-metadata/ Snorre mentionned that it could be of interests for Opera which has already plenty of test suites that could be released in W3C venues. We agreed that we have to be flexible, and make this schema as extensible as possible. So that people can not only use it but adapt it to their own needs. The choice of the format for the schema might be a problem in certain venues: RDF, XML Schema, RelaxNG, … We will then not recommend only one schema. We will start with one implementation and invite other people to contribute their own schema to be added to the document in appendix. We could expect a republication in April 2006. * [36]A survey on Test Suite needs at W3C * [37]Survey of testing practices in W3C groups [36] http://www.w3.org/QA/2005/03/joint-test-suites.html [37] http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/34786/qa-test/results * ACTION: Dom to propose an implementation of Test Metadata in RDF.
