RE: [ebxml-iic] Errata list for versoin 2.0 of IIC Test Framework
Title: Next call, Monday Sept 29, 11am PT

Here are comments from my team on the erratta 
list:

 

1. Would like 
to specify a schematron file to use for 
validation. It could be as simple as adding an additional type for the existing 
attribute contentType 
on <ValidateContent>

 

For 
instance:

contentType="SchematronFile" or "Schematron"

 

 

<ValidateContent contentType="SchematronFile" 
schemaLocation="oag/processpurchaseorder/ProcessPurchaseOrder.sch"/>                    

 

2. 
Please clarify or elaborate the difference between <SetParameter> in 
GetMessage and the nested SetParameter in <GetMessage><GetPayload>. 
The description has them both doing the same thing. "Container for user-defined parameter to be made available to other Test 
Steps ( source can be this message's XML content retrieved via XPath statement 
or simply a user-supplied string value)". 

 

 

3. Consider the possiblity of standard 
variables that can be used to cause the engine to generate a date-time value. 
For example:

 

TestDriverDateTime

 

                
<SetParameter>
                    
<Name>MyDateTimeVar</Name>
                    
<Value>TestDriverDateTime</Value>
                
<SetParameter>

 

 

This would cause the test driver to create 
a variable named " MyDateTimeVar". The value of the variable would be a date 
time value generated by the test 
driver.

If the name TestDriverDateTime doesn't 
isn't appealing, then maybe we could make it be more function like: 
test-driver-date-time()

 

 

Another useful 
example,

 

                
<SetParameter>
                    
<Name>MyGUID</Name>
                    
<Value>TestDriverGUID</Value>
                
<SetParameter>                

 

 

4. For optimization, is is possible for 
the TestRequirement documents to refer to the TestSuite document that contains 
the necessary TestCases that fulfil the requirement? Right now it requires a 
disk search and file scanning to determine the correct test cases for a 
particular requirement. For optimization, and to avoid a disk lookup and file 
scanning, we have to specify in a database what requirement goes with what test 
case.

 

Profile -> 
requirement1

          
-> requirement2

 

requirement1 -> testsuite1/test 
case1

                    -> 
testsuite2/test case5

 

requirement2 -> 
testsuite1/testcase3

Jacques and all,

  
 

  
   I am compiling a list of items to 
  discuss regarding upgrading the capability of 

  
the IIC Test Framework version 1.0  Some of 
  the items are editorial, although the majority

  
are necessary updates, particularly regarding the 
  necessity to mutate message payloads and

  
suppport a broader scope of mesaging (RNIF, SMTP, 
  FTP).

  
 

  
  This list is not yet complete, but I 
  believe that we can begin work on the next version of the

  
Test Framework without waiting to complete 
  it.  

  
 

  
Regards,

  
Mike
