FW: Proposed Exit Criteria for WS-RA Specifications discussed on2009-09-30

[Toby Nixon <Toby.Nixon@microsoft.com>]

FYI, please see below what’s being discussed in WS-RA as requirements for interoperable implementations. DPWS implementers could help move the WS-RA specs along in the process by helping produce implementations of WS-Eventing (in particular), WS-Transfer, and WS-MetadataExchange (the last two being a bit harder because we use such small portions of them in DPWS). You may want to consider asking your organizations if it’s possible for you to help the process by providing implementations of one or more of the specs.

Subject: Proposed Exit Criteria for WS-RA Specifications discussed on 2009-09-30

 

Proposed Exit Criteria for WS-RA specifications:

1) all mandatory features implemented by all implementations

2) Each optional feature must be represented in at least two interoperable implementations

3) Any implementation used to test an optional feature must implement all mandatory features

4) Two interoperable implementations means two different code bases from two different companies

5) All implmentation used for testing must be conformant to the specification as defined by the spec

 

Concerns heard during the meeting on:

-the necessity of the two different codebases being from two different companies

-the potential need for combinatorial testing of optional features
