Re: [ubl-dev] Test Assertions for UBL Calculation Model?

I wouldn't disagree with any of this but just to note I'm working
with TAG TC at the moment (still too early to predict success) on
modularity of test assertions. Take for instance my package of
assertions 
(latest version:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/34299/ubl-ta-draft-0-71.xml
)
These assertions could be a core set and another set in another
file could reference these as test assertion external references.
The set of assertions which references the core could be part of
a customisation and could qualify the core assertion main set of
any set (test assertion set) with prerequisites (which have to be 
true for the referenced assertions to be considered relevant for
testing).

The latest draft of the Test Assertion Markup Language (v0.7)
http://wiki.oasis-open.org/tag/TestAssertionMarkupLanguage?action=recall&rev=11

has what I hope might prove to be the necessary constructs
(testAssertionRef and children) for making such refs to external
test assertions (see bottom of this archive of my email to TAG TC
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tag/200909/msg00041.html  )

It's early days but there are other groups already making use of this 
kind of test assertion methodology, just not yet using this particular
markup. Admittedly external test assertion references in executable
test assertions might be a bit advanced so need to proceed carefully.

Best regards
