Subject: RE: [tag-discuss] TA definition: one more try
Jacques, we might want to give the definition
to the Item Under Test. Is it defined somewhere else? I don’t know what
is the difference with the Implementation Under Test. - serm From: Durand, Jacques
R. [mailto:JDurand@us.fujitsu.com] Trying to blend the latest proposals on TA definition,
in the blurb we had before (e.g. it appears that the term implementation should
be replaced with "item under test"): " A test assertion (TA), also sometimes defined as test
specification, is understood in this charter with the following general
meaning: A TA always refers to an item under
test (IUT), either implicitly or explicit if it is necessary that the TA
identifies the item in some unambiguous manner. A TA describes the expected output or behavior for the item under test within
specific operation conditions, in a way that can be measured or tested. A TA may refer to an abstract test harness
architecture that characterizes test components in terms of their interaction
with the IUT. Each test assertion is an independent, complete, testable
statement for requirements in the specification. Test assertions are generally
different from test cases, which are more detailed and contingent to a concrete
test framework: TAs are the basis to write test cases, and relate the latter to
the narrative of the target specification." DOes that satisfy everyone - at least for a charter
definition ? NOTE: the "Test Metadata" W3C doc talks of
"testable assertions" which I think is not the same as TA here...
right Patrick? (fearing to open a new can of worms here...) -Jacques |
