Subject: Forward of correspondance with Laura Bianchini
Jacques and all,
Here is a copy of my reply to Laura Bianchini re: Test Framework
issues/discrepancies. Regards, Mike -----Original Message----- From: Laura Bianchini [mailto:bianchin@cs.unibo.it] Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2004 11:47 AM To: michael.kass@nist.gov Subject: Request of information about
ebXMLTestFramework Dear mr Michael Kass, I am concerned with the B2B standardisation for the
Textile/Clothing sector. (http://www.moda-ml.it) We have developed a framework based on XML and ebXML
transport specification and we are trying to build a
conformance test to check the adherence of the implementations to the requirements
of the framework. We have analysed the document (downloaded from "http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/documents.php"
): -
ebXML Test Framework specification, version 1.0 (downloaded from
"http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/1990/ebXML-TestFramework-10.zip") -
ebXML Messaging Service Specification, version 2.0 (downloaded from "http://www.ebxml.org/specs/index.htm") -
ebXML MS V2.0 Conformance Test
Suite
("IIC_MS_20_Conformance_TestSuite_V1.0.doc" downloaded from
"http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/4086/ebMS2.0ExeConfTestSuite.zip") -
ebXML MS V2.0 Executable Conformance Test Suite V1.0
("IIC_MS_20_Executable_Conformance_TestSuite.doc" downloaded
from
"http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/4086/ebMS2.0ExeConfTestSuite.zip") -
an XML version of the TestSuite ("ebxml_ms_20_executable_testsuite.xml" downloaded from
"http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/4086/ebMS2.0ExeConfTestSuite.zip") We want to realize a structure for "Remote
Conformance Testing of a Message Handler", but we have meet a lot of problems
because in each document "the test cases" are sometimes explained in different
ways and we found that the examples of "ebXML Test Framework
specification" are not exactly adherent to the specification. Example: - In the "ebXML Test Framework
specification, version 1.0", 9.1.1 Conformance Test Requirement,there aren't the
attributes ConditionRef and AssertionRef, defined as "required" in the
5.2 of the same document. [MIKE] - Added to Test Framework errata and fixed.
ConditionRef and AssertionRef are now "optional" in documentation, to
match schema definition. - In the "ebXML
Test Framework specification, version 1.0", 9.3.1 Conformance Test Suite, the element
"<ebTest:TestStep ebTest:mode="connection">" in the
specification hasn't the attribute mode. [MIKE] - Removed the "mode" attribute from
<TestStep> because it is highly unlikely that we will switch
"modes" in the middle of a <TestCase> - "IIC_MS_20_Conformance_TestSuite_V1.0.doc"
VS
"ebxml_ms_20_executable_testsuite.xml" Testcase 12
in the first document is different from Testcase 12 in the second. In the first,there is only an
essertion while in the second there are Precondition and Assertion.What is the
right solution? [MIKE] - Both should be <TestAssertion>
operations. I also found a number
of cases where <TestPreCondition> is improperly used in both the
conformance test suite and executable test suite. <TestPreCondition> must
only be used in cases where an "optional" feature may or may not
exist as a prerequisite to testing an assertion. I have modified the executable test suite to fix this
(removing <TestPreCondition> elements, or changing them to
<TestAssertion> elements where appropriate. Changes are reflected in the Executable Test Suite errata
list, to be posted on the OASIS IIC web site. Please could you tell us if we have used the right
documentation or give us any link or material, as much recent as possible, that
could allow us to find more up-to-date information on this area. (If you are interested we can tell you the more
details about the problems that we found in our work) [MIKE] - We will shortly be posting V1.1 of the Test
Framework specification, along with 1.1 of the Executable Test Suite,
Conformance Test Suite, and
Conformance Test Requirements.
They will be available on the oasis IIC web site at: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/documents.php?wg_abbrev=ebxml-iic Thanks for you attention. Laura Bianchini Undegraduated student of computer science
