(c) next F2F: East vs West, Nov / Dec.

 

2. TAG guidelines doc assignments - editors' plans for:

- intro/rationale

- need a "glossary" editor

- , TA anatomy, "special issues"...)

 

3. TA discussion #1: the structure of a TA.

- Beyond the "prose"  option, can we converge toward a structure and the semantics of its parts (pre-condition, test trigger/effect, post-condition)

- challenges:

. meaning of post-condition, if any?

. does it make sense to separate test trigger / test effect (e.g. case of a schema validation), isn't that more like test operation / test outcome? 

 

4. TA discussion #2: the outcome of a TA.

-  simple alternative: pass / fail [/not apply] ?

- Can some TA just decide about "failure" (not pass) and vice versa?

- need for additional outcome? (inconclusive? undetermined?) or is it relevant to test case execution?
