Thread: TA Modeling -- (formerly: RE: [tag] Test Assertion Model suggestion, 'Take Four')

["Durand, Jacques R." <JDurand@us.fujitsu.com>]

Stephen:

General comment:

That structure below seems more appropriate for the markup phase.
I find it rather scary/daunting in a general guideline doc, or too
detailed... 

Primary concern for me: a guideline doc that people feel they can use
after just one reading, and can apply easily to their own specification.
I'd reserve the details for those willing to go to the next step - a
formal processable representation (not everyone !)

Cheers,
Jacques
