Title: Liaison Subcommittee's recommendation for definition of conformance targets and use of RFC 2119 keyword

This email is to inform you that the OpenCSA member section SCA Liaison subcommittee has agreed to make the following recommendation regarding Conformance Targets and RFC 2119 wording:

 

 

"Conformance targets can be categorized into

1) document artifacts (or constructs within them) that can be checked statically.

2) SCA runtimes, which we may require to exhibit certain behaviors.

 

We recommend that each TC write its specifications to:

1. Reword the specifications using RFC 2119 keywords.

2. For each appearance of a 2119 keyword, specify the document, construct or runtime behavior that is being constrained."
