Next call Monday 13

Title: Next call Monday 13

All:

I have not planned a meeting for today, yet I am open to informal discussion if enough are interested:
just let me know by email, I'll open the bridge same time.

A few things are happening that we would otherwise discuss next meeting (Dec 13).

- Efforts to promote test requirements methodology in other OASIS TCs are gearing up.  As TAB member, I am editor of  a Test Assertion guideline doc (as part of my  job in OASIS TAB) that is derived from Test Framework test requirements - mostly the terminology is changing. No mark-up defined yet. The intent is for the TAB to recommend this to the Board at some point.

- Contacts taken with QA group in W3C, which is very open to defining a common Test Requirement methodology and model. Objective would be to get to a common test requirement (or test assertion) representation across OASIS, W3C, WS-I, and get tehse orgs recommend to their work grops to use it...  There may be some technical hurdles to discuss :  WS-I representation is kind of customized for "profiles", has specific features, and a specific mark-up.

- OASIS (Pim V.D.E., Andy Moir) is planning for setting up new conformance /  interoperability events in 2005, and want to discuss this on

the next call.  OASIS is also moving on with a testing program.

Next meeting is for next week
Date:  Monday, December 13, 2004
Time:  02:00pm - 03:00pm Pacific Time

Rough agenda:

1-  Update on Test Framework 1.1 spec,  editorial status for OpenOffice version, table conversions, etc. - ready to publish?

2- update on the current cross-standard efforts for a common Test Assertion guideline doc.
3- OASIS plans for 2005 testing program (Pim, Andy)
4- update on NIST implementation
5- follow-up on BPSS testing

Regards,

Jacques
