Subject: [ebxml-iic] 9/30/2003: 2003 Scenario Abstract
I received the input from NCA (Thank you), and had one change to accommodate the possible Reg/Rep type test. I have not received other responses and wish to provide the draft abstract scenario to OASIS, to meet the deadline constraints. I am sure we can work on this over time to evolve the scenario to accommodate the participating parties. > ================================================================================================== > > Testing is instrumental for a successful implementation and 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 meet these business needs and 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 test suite for ebXML Messaging Service (ebMS) > basic interoperability - for conformance and interoperability testing > - and is continuing its work to provide test specifications for other > ebXML and industry payload specifications. > > In this real-business scenario, the ebXML IIC and complementary test > suites will exercise key elements of the ebXML Test Framework > including conformance and interoperability for remote and local > reporting modes. In addition, the IIC has defined connection and > service mode for the 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 may involve 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 requirements by the supply > chain to ensure the product functions meet its reliability goals and > provide ready access to discover services to support operations. > > For example, this testing may involve ebMS functions such as: > - Conformance: Generation of a payload containers, resending of retries > - Interoperability: Asynchronous request, signed acknowledgements, > and error handling > > ================================================================================================== > > Background information (for reference): > > The ebXML IIC developed test specifications for a test framework and > procedures to automate the ebXML conformance and interoperability > tests. The test framework specifies distributed software components. > This OASIS technical committee (TC) is focused on test automation, > computable execution and verifiable results. > > At this time at least 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 may > participate in this incremental test demonstration from the eBusiness > Standardization (eBES) vendor forum under CEN-ISSS.
