Re: [sca-assembly] Test impacts of Issue 221.

[Mike Edwards <mike_edwards@uk.ibm.com>]

Folks,

Looking at the 3 new normative statements,
my view of the impact of these new statements on the TestAssertions document
and on the TestCases document
is as follows:

1) TestAssertions

3 new test assertions are required,
one for each normative statement

2) TestCases

1 new testcase is required, which will
test the 2 section 5 statements.

In my view, the componentType statement
is difficult to test since there is no mandate on any implementation types
to provide this form of attribute on a property.

The new testcase should be a positive
test that the runtime recognizes the attribute, is able to dereference
the file, read the file and correctly populate the
property with the value(s) that are
read from the file.



Unless I hear from other folks on the
list that they would prefer an alternate approach in the next few days,
I shall proceed on this basis.

I note that this will require a new
issue to be raised to change the TestAssertion & TestCases document.


Yours,  Mike.

As discussed on yesterday's call, the
application of the resolution of Issue 221 added three new normative statements
to the spec (ASM40012, ASM50045 and ASM50046).  I have just looked
at the CD02 version of the test assertions and test cases documents and
there are no test assertions and thus no test cases for these new statements.
