Call for Contribution of WSDL 2.0 Test Cases

The Web Service Description Working Group is beginning the creation of a 
Test Suite for the WSDL 2.0 specification and is inviting interested 
developers to contribute test cases. The goal is to have a comprehensive 
set of test cases that implementers can use for testing. The creation of 
implementations is a key activity during the Candidate Recommendation 
phase.

To start, we are looking for WSDL 2.0 documents (and XSD 1.0 referenced by 
them). Here are the details.

1. The test cases will be stored in CVS at [1].
2. The proposed contents of the test suite are described in [2].
3. All test case must be valid with respect to the WSDL 2.0 schema [3].
4. Each test case is either "good" or "bad".
5. We want to achieve full coverage of the names defined in the 
specification with good test cases. Each element name, attribute name, 
etc. should be present in at least one good test case.
6. We want to achieve full coverage of the non-schema validity constraints 
defined in the specification with bad test cases. Each such constraint 
should be violated by at least one bad test case.
7. Each test case consists of a root WSDL document and any other WSDL and 
XSD documents referenced by it. These documents are stored in a named 
folder under either the "good" or "bad" folders of the "documents" folder.
8. Test cases can be submitted to the test suite by posting them to the 
www-ws-desc@w3.org mailing list.
9. The W3C policies govering test suites are described at [4].
