RE: [ebxml-iic-interop] interop update
Title: interop update

Yes, 
latest draft is 0.4 you got by mail. Not posted yet on our 
site.

We 
need to review in particular Section 3:

- the 
detail of the test steps for each test case.

- the 
notion of having two "basic interop profiles", concretized by a test 
suite for HTTP, 

and 
another test suite for SMTP. (no "option" inside a profile.)

- the 
content of these basic interop profiles (as drafted, they roughly match what 
remains

from 
the DGI tests, after removing (a) conformance tests, (b) optional tests, (c) 
specific tests like large payloads.)

 

Cheers,

 

Jacques

Steve, Hatem, Eric: 

    
Here is an incremental update of the Interop 
    suite document, for your review 
based on 
    improvement we discussed in past conf calls as well as F-2-F. 

    
- Section 1.2 (concept of operations) is 
    expanded. 

    
- References to third-party tests (here, DGI) has 
    been removed, as this is a general, abstract test suite, 
that will be used as a reference by third parties. 
    Comparisons with UCC/DGI test suite will be done separately, 
    
as we expect for other existing test suites 
    (ECOM). (We'll need to do such "comparative evaluations" 
if only as a basis for discussion when negotiating with 
    these entities, so that they understand how "compliant" 
they are with our tests, and also so that they can give 
    feedback on what may be missing in ours. 

    
- list of Actions of  Test Service (Section 
    2.2) is slightly updated (configurator, also the message sending 
    behavior 
of all these actions is the same 
    whether the Test Service is associated or not with a Test Driver.) 
    

    
- still need to refine the way a Test Driver will 
    drive the test cases by directly invoking the Test Service "Initiator" 
    action.

    
- only one interop profile test suite described 
    here for HTTP (Section 3), based on Steve's list of test cases 
    
 as we went through in F-2-F. 
    
It is roughly equivalent to: { DGI, minus 
    conformance tests, minus optional tests, minus HTTP/S } 
Detail of test cases (test steps, CPA...) still needs to 
    borrow from Mike's material. 
Still to 
    discuss: idea that there is an interop profile for HTTP, another vfor SMTP. 
    (see Section 3.3) 

    
Regards, 

    
Jacques
