RE: [ebxml-iic-interop] MS interop draft and some test cases / pr ofile
Overall, I think this draft is good and look forward to 
seeing the rest of the profiles detailed.

 

I do 
have a question on the section

Lines 
341-347 Configurator

What 
is meant by "change the collaboration agreement for the conversation related to 
a test case or a set of test cases"

is the 
idea to switch out CPAID on an "Initiator" action for a test case or set of test 
cases or is the idea to actually change the contents of a CPA document itself 
refered to by a CPAID ?

  profile

Hi All, 
  
Sorry this took so long.  I have taken a first crack at the various 
  profiles for Interop test, please review (for the purposes of the draft, I 
  have indicated where it matches the Drummond test, these comments will be 
  removed in the final draft, but a statement will be place into the document to 
  acknowledge the contributions that the Drummond Group have made). 
  
I will continue to work on this document this week and hope to have another 
  draft out before the end of the week. 
  
Cheers, 
Steve

Steve, Prakash: 
    
Here is an updated draft of MS Interop 
    test Suite doc. 
Note that I 
    have not merged yet all material from the earlier draft of 
    Prakash. 
(I leave it to you 
    guys to do that). 
    
things to look at in 
    particular: 
    
1- We need to define some Interoperability 
    Profiles (I only defined one very basic, to review/extend). 
    
(the "interop profiles" we discussed this 
    morning on the call.) 
I 
    have assumed so far a very basic interoperability profile (see Section 4, 
    "IP 1"), 
that mostly checks 
    the ability to exchange various types of messages. 
(Now, should some security, e.g. DSig, etc. be 
    added? maybe.) 
Some 
    possible approaches when defining profiles: 
- only one transport is adressed in a profile 
    (HTTP, SMTP, HTTPS), 
(so it 
    could be we replicate our HTTP profile suite for SMTP?) 
    
- as focus is on interop, we assume 
    conformance tests have been done before. 
(but some conformance tests may have an interop 
    aspect: 
e.g. proper Ack 
    generation is a conformance test supposed to be done before, 
    
but ability to receive an Ack from 
    another MSH and process it correctly is an interop issue.) 
    
- base profile(s) should only require 
    core features in MSH. 
- its 
    OK for a profile A test suite to include/refer to another profile B test 
    suite (if A extend B) 
(e.g. 
    secure profile extend base profile?) 
- we could have a "standard" profile, and an 
    "enterprise" one that tests advanced reqs, like passing large payloads, 
    etc. 
    
2- Look at the test Case material (section 
    4) 
So far I have described 
    4 Test Cases for profile IP1 (a small subset of Steve's test 
    list) 
Each Test Case is 
    complete with test steps and message material. 
Also See if the Test Service actions are clear 
    enough and sufficient. 
Then 
    if its OK you can use these as examples to build other test 
    cases. 
    
3- Could you review that draft, possibly 
    do some update ( refine / add profile definitions, some test 
    cases, 
possibly do more 
    merging with Prakash earlier draft ) by end of this week? 
    
Then I'll add whatever latest version to 
    our OASIS site as a work in progress.
