Concrete Exit Criteria for the SCA Assembly TC - Proposal

Folks,

I propose the following as the Exit
Criteria to be adopted by the SCA Assembly TC:

"The Concrete Exit Criteria for
the SCA Assembly V1.1 specification are that:

o there shall be 2 independent SCA runtimes
that are compliant with all normative portions of the

specification as described in Section
12.2 of the SCA Assembly V1.1 specification 

o the 2 independent runtimes shall pass
the Test Suite for SCA Assembly as described in the document

'TestCases for the SCA Assembly Model
Version 1.1 Specification' "

I believe that this is sufficient to
cover:

- the question of conformance to the
spec

- the issues of portability and interoperability

since the test suite is a pretty thorough
examination of conformance to the spec (there are testcases for

all normative statements with testable
& observable consequences) and the test suite is also a test of portability,

since the test suite has an extensive
set of artifacts that are ported to each runtime and interoperability is

checked through the use of Web services
being used between the SCA runtime and a non-SCA (JAXWS) client.

Yours, Mike
