Subject: 10/16/2003: Summary and Abstract for Demonstration Loaded for XML2003
I was asked by Dee Schur to provide the abstract we previously discussed for the XML 2003 Poster Presentations. See below the details. If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know. This is very much what we had before with a bit more on Registry. ================================================================================================== Achieving Interoperability Using Test Frameworks Key words: conformance,interoperability,test profile,ebXML Registry/Repository,ebXML Messaging Service,test scenarios,test cases,test framework,test automation Short description: OASIS ebXML Implementation, Interoperability and Conformance (IIC) developed the Test Framework v.1.0 for ebXML Messaging Service (ebMS). Conformance and interoperability will be exercised in a messaging and service discovery (registry) scenario. Resources: cables and power cords, power strip, extension cords ================================================================================================== Abstract: Testing is instrumental for successful deployment of inter-enterprise eBusiness standards. B2B testbeds are enabling instruments to: - Assure and assess quality of emerging standards - Promote standards adoption in the vendor products and by users - Validate conformance of the products to standards - Validate interoperability between the vendor products and their implementations. To instill business confidence, the OASIS ebXML Implementation, Interoperability and Conformance (IIC) developed the ebXML Test Framework v.1.0. In the first release, this framework defined a conformance and interoperability test suite for ebXML Messaging Service (ebMS). It continues its work to provide an adaptable test framework and specifications for other ebXML and industry standards. In this real-world test scenario, the ebXML IIC and interested test groups will exercise key elements of the ebXML Test Framework including conformance and interoperability for remote and local reporting modes, using the Test Driver and Test Service components. The ebXML IIC is collaborating with test suite groups worldwide, from United States to South Korea to Europe. This real-world test scenario involves complementary tests, such as: * A supply chain where a buyer or supplier - a marketplace product, process engine, or message handler service - must test an upgrade with their solutions as well as with their customers. The enhancements will then be integrated into production operations. * Providing access to services or objects via a Registry to support the supply chain operations. These incremental testing processes are new supply chain requirements to ensure the product functions meet reliability goals and provide ready access to discover services to support operations. Such testing involves ebMS and Registry functions such as: - Conformance: Messaging generation of a payload containers, resending of retries; Registry HTTP interface support for QueryManagement, creation of auditable events by the Registry Service - Interoperability: Asynchronous request, signed acknowledgements, and error handling The ebXML IIC developed test specifications for a test framework and procedures to automate conformance and interoperability testing. The test framework specifies distributed software components. This OASIS technical committee (TC) is focused on test automation, computable execution and verifiable results. Two test groups will join ebXML IIC - NCA and Drake Certivo. In 2002, the Department of e-Business Research, Knowledge and Information Technology Division of the National Computerization Agency (NCA) completed the development of their conformance test requirements for ebMS, Registry/Repository, and Collaboration Protocol Profile and Agreement (CPP/A) as well as ebMS interoperability test requirements. They are now enhancing their test bed to follow the ebXML IIC test framework. Drake Certivo will also demonstrate their test suite functionality based on this test framework. Drake Certivo has also conducted interoperability and compliance tests for RosettaNet. Other interoperability players will be encouraged to participate, including eBusiness Standardization (eBES) vendor forum under CEN-ISSS.
