Re: about test suite in KwareSoft

Kyuwon,

 

   Thank you for raising this issue 
regarding <VerifyContent> evaluation of message(s) returned by the 
<Filter> operation.  My interpretation for writing the XPath 
expression as you described was that I was verifying that a <mime:Message> 
was found in the resulting NodeList whose <soap:Envelope> has  a 
namespace-uri of http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'

 

    As I understand your 
interpretation, you are saying that the <mime:Message> has already been 
"found" by the <Filter>, therefore why not evaluate the 
<soap:Envelope> of that message ( or the first message that matches this 
XPath expression ), rather than appearing to again filter 
<mime:Message>s.

  

   I believe that we are both "correct" 
in that both XPath expressions will yield a "true" result if a message is found 
in the filtered NodeLIst of messages, where the <soap:Envelope> 
namespace matches that which we specify.

 

   Is this just a case of 
semantics?  I believe that it is.  If so, perhaps the IIC group can 
decide which is a better semantic approach to verifying results.. since I use 
this approach in the majority of Test Cases in this Executable Test Suite.  
It would be fairly easy to modify the Executable Test Suite to have a more 
specific XPath expression.

 

   Comments?

PS - I am posting my response to the IIC group so 
that all future discussion of the Test Framework and Test Suites

is visible to all.

Subject: about test suite in 
  KwareSoft

  

  
Hello..

  
 

  
I am testing TestSuite.

  
 

  
I find some mistakes, for example, 
  "mime:Container -> mime:MessageContainer".

  
 

  
And, in below example...

  
 

  
<ebTest:GetMessage 
  ebTest:description="Correlate returned message"> 
  

  

  
    <ebTest:Filter>/TEST:MessageStore/mime:Message[mime:MessageContainer[1]/soap:Envelope/soap:Header/eb:MessageHeader[eb:Action='Mute' 
  and eb:CPAId='mshc_Basic' and eb:ConversationId=$ConversationId and 
  eb:MessageData/eb:RefToMessageId=$RefToMessageId]]</ebTest:Filter> 

  

  
     <ebTest:TestAssertion 
  ebTest:description="Verify that SOAP envelope element is properly 
  namespace qualified">

  

  

  
      
  <ebTest:VerifyContent>/mime:Message[mime:MessageContainer[1]/soap:Envelope[namespace-uri()='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/']]</ebTest:VerifyContent> 

  
 </ebTest:TestAssertion>

  
</ebTest:GetMessage>

  
 

  
Because "mime:Message" is found by Filter, "/mime:Message[mime:MessageContainer[1]~]]" is replaced by "mime:MessageContainer[1][~]" in VerifyContent.

  
 

  
How do you 
  think?

Kyuwon..
