spec
Mike:
Front page should show right date, and also version
(and
it is called now a "Committee Draft" V0.95)
Comments mostly on the "parameters", which was the main remaining
issue:
---------------------------------
3.3.2: Message
content parameters -
Preceded with a '$' symbol, these parameters represent dynamic message content
used to both construct an ebXML message as well as evaluate returned message
conformance. These parameters and their description are listed in section
3.5.2.
>should
be : "...are listed in section 3.5.1"
[MIKE]
- Fixed
---------------------------------
3.3.2:
we need to say a word on the notion of "test step". We can reuse def
from Test Framework 3.3.1, e.g.:
"A
Test Case is a sequence of Test Steps. A Test Step is an aggregate of one or
more operations on the implementation under test. A Test Step usually involves
a single message sending or receiving operation, plus some data verification,
like checking or enforcing a condition on message header. A Test Step may also include
conditional actions that are a basis for the execution of the assertion within
the Test Step itself."
---------------------------------
[MIKE]
- Added similar wording for Test Case, Test Step..etc
descriptions
About
parameters: we should get rid of $CPAId:
testcase_27.4:
"eb:CPAId=$CPAId
" , why not refer to one of our predefined CPAId ike in other test cases?
Same for 27.5 and other places. I guess we can do without
$CPAId.
---------------------------------
Table
of parameters in 3.5.1 below need a few words about *when* these parameters
are set, as the expressions where they are used assume they are
set,
and
we should get rid of those that are unused.
CPAId (suggest to get rid
of)
[MIKE] -
Removed
Reference to one of 13 MSH configuration
instances described in section
3.5.3
ConversationId
As defined in [ebMS]. Represents the
ConversationId associated with a particular test case (will remain the
same for all test steps of the test
case).
[MIKE] -
Aded
Service (not used here)
[MIKE] -
Removed
For this abstract test suite:
urn:ebxml:iic:test
Action (not used here)
[MIKE] -
Removed
As defined in
[ebMS]
SenderParty
(instead of using a parameter, e.g. in test case
#90, can't we just directly refer to the From/PartyId element in the
received message? Same for multi-hop test
cases)
[MIKE] - I
believe that using such a syntax would "break" our XPath meaning, and
confuse the test writer, since we really have no logical way
to describe this relationship in an XPath expression. I
believe that a simple $SenderParty parameter is much easier to
understand.
The From/PartyId message
value
ReceiverParty
(not used
here)
[MIKE] -
Removed
The To/PartyId message
value
MessageId (we still have expressions with some of these left: I
thought we decided to get rid of
them)
[I removed those
that were not necessary however $MessageId is still necessary for
RefToMessageId, StatusResponse and Acknowledgment test case
verification ( verification must be done that they are referring to the
correct previous message), so I have left those in for tests 41, 43,
101, 134, 182, 183, 184, 187, 188,
As defined in
[ebMS]
RefToMessageId
[MIKE] - I changed $RefToMessageId to
$MessageId, since they are semantically equivalent. Therefore
there is no need for both of these
parameters.
As defined in [ebMS]. Represents the message ID
value of the message that was manipulated in the previous test step,
e.g. of the latest message sent or
received.
---------------------------------------
The
parameterized example in Sec 3.5.2 should not show parameters that are not
used in the test suite.
[MIKE] - Fixed that.
Regards,
Jacques
