Subject: Re: [legalxml-courtfiling] Interoperability test requirements for ECF1.1

From our experience in the Georgia interoperability
test, and as I read about other installations or the comments from other
interested participants in a test, I became concerned what the success
of an interoperability test really means. Does the interoperability
test imply that any court can rely on the
standard to implement live filings if the test was a
success? What is the definition of a success? Is a test
declared a success if only portions of the filing process were
tested? (no case initiation, no fees, etc.) OR, are we merely saying
that the interoperability test has moved us closer to a more complete
solution. I think that if we break the interoperability test into smaller
conformance tests then success of each level will have greater
meaning.
The document that I have attached describes 5
levels of conformance testing. Each level increases the complexities of
interoperability. It also exposes the issues at each level that we have
seen as we progress with court filings. Conformance levels such
as these will allow a vendor to identify areas that they have tested against,
and successfully conformed to or partial conformed to. It also gives the
Certification Sub-committee more identifiable areas to put certification
policies in place. I fear that trying to test everything, all at once will
make it very difficult to identify failure points or levels
of success.
Please accept the attached document as my
input.
