Subject: RE: getting back to testing
Rex, I’ll look at this in a bit. To somewhat rephrase your points: - Testing early and often is needed but not all testing can be done in isolation. - Testing does not end with acceptance/deployment because changing ecosystem can result in untested conditions. - Continuous monitoring is a continuation of testing. This implies an efficiency in using monitoring tools early as part of testing. - Service monitoring needs to include reacting to anomalous conditions. Reaction could be, but is not limited to, isolating the service or informing consumers of anomaly. Reaction needs to be responsive, flexible, and appropriate, e.g. don’t issue advisories to tell people that the network is slow, thus only adding to the load. OK?

Rex, I’ve spent considerable quality time cutting accepted comments into the latest RAF draft. I also wanted to cut in the revised testing section and to incorporate your comments there. The simple ones were easy but there are a few that could use some additional guidance from you. In the attached spreadsheet, comments rb42-rb44 have augmented responses in blue type in column H. I also attached the testing draft modified for your other comments. (I also remember dozens of open ended comments from Boris that I need to figure what to do with.) I may just be running low on creative cycles, so if you still think changes are needed, please provide me some creative nudges.
