Subject: Re: [ubl-dev] Test Assertions for UBL Calculation Model?


Example attached where the outer TA set refers to but qualifies the
core set (adding a prerequisite that the invoice does not contain
a PrepaidPayment). Another TA Set could be created which has a
prerequiste to the opposite effect (that the invoice does contain
a PrepaidPayment). You see the power of this. Then a conformance
profile could refer to one or both sets of upper level TAs (which 
reference the core - so it could also reference the core just to be
safe), perhaps directly or indirectly in its conformance clause. By
indirectly I mean the conformance clause would require conformance
to all normative statements of requirements and one such 'MUST'
or 'shall' normative statement could refer to the outer assertion set
- that it 'MUST' or 'shall' be passed. In this way the TAs can
actually
be a part of the spec. Or they can be written as prose and not 
necessarily be presented explicitly as TAs and the test assertions
published/provided as a secondary deliverable along with the spec.
Either way is OK and has attested precedents.

Best regards

I wouldn't disagree with any of this but just to note I'm working
with TAG TC at the moment (still too early to predict success) on
modularity of test assertions. Take for instance my package of
assertions 
(latest version:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/34299/ubl-ta-draft-0-71.xml

)
These assertions could be a core set and another set in another
file could reference these as test assertion external references.
The set of assertions which references the core could be part of
a customisation and could qualify the core assertion main set of
any set (test assertion set) with prerequisites (which have to be 
true for the referenced assertions to be considered relevant for
testing).

The latest draft of the Test Assertion Markup Language (v0.7)
http://wiki.oasis-open.org/tag/TestAssertionMarkupLanguage?action=recall&rev=11


has what I hope might prove to be the necessary constructs
(testAssertionRef and children) for making such refs to external
test assertions (see bottom of this archive of my email to TAG TC
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tag/200909/msg00041.html  )

It's early days but there are other groups already making use of this 
kind of test assertion methodology, just not yet using this particular
markup. Admittedly external test assertion references in executable
test assertions might be a bit advanced so need to proceed carefully.

I think we should provide "at least" the main assertions to avoid
people 
confusion.

There are information very easy to map in UBL, others are more
difficult.

Many people do not read UBL annotations available on each schema, this

reason it is easy to get confused by some data structures.

The profile should not broke the main structure provided for UBL
documents.

Profiles should not broke main concepts...

It is fine we do not apply too many mandatory fields, but some
relevant

data should be clearly mentioned in the specification and I think
there

is a small set of assertions that we should provide (at least as a 
written indication)

To explain me better, I think we should print the annotations of some 
relevant information items in the specification, to underline the use
of 
that specific information.
