Subject: Final DRAFT for today's discussion and voting
Jacques
and all, Here is the URL for the final
draft of the Test Framework specification. All issues have been addressd that were
identified in the last conf call. I am ready
to vote for the document, however I wish to discuss one item currently in the spec that I
believe should be removed ( branching from within a Test Step ). I believe that doing so breaks the
object hierarchy ( and the parameter scooping ) of the Test Framework, and is
unnecessary. I believe that using
the natural object hierarchy of : TestSuite TestCase Thread makes sense. I believe that a hierarchy of: TestSuite TestCase Thread Thread does not. Especially when one thinks of Threads in a BPSS sense ( as a
container for a particular set of related actions (i.e. a particular part of a
business process ), and thinks of TestSteps as the “atomic” level operation
that is simply a PutMessage or GetMessage. The logical branching from a Test Step destroys this
hierarchical relationship, and the readability of a script ( and its natural similarity
to a business process definition ) Attached
is the document for review. Sorry I
couldn’t get it out sooner.. worked on it all weekend. Mike -----Original

iteration of the spec by theend of thsi week and decide whether to submit it to
vote Mike: can you especially
check "note #2" and send a note to the list on current status for
this? Regards, Jacques |
