Re: [dss-x] Groups - Using Assertion for DSS/X InterOP (DSS Assertion.pdf)uploaded

Dear Andreas,

Thank you very much for your document. Indeed it is very interesting.... 
I am afraid that I will not be able to make next Monday's call (I will 
be -if the ashes cloud allows it- in an ESI meeting in London)....

There is one thing that I wanted to comment though....maybe I am wrong 
but I would say that the assertions would be extremelly useful within 
the context of conformance checking, i.e., to check that a certain 
application is conformant to the specification. My view is that in an 
interoperability event, apart from the fact that applications should be 
aligned with the specification, the test cases should define what 
optional elements are present in one test case, and what values for the 
relevant elements and attributes both mandatory and optional present. I 
would say then that both are complementary, the assertions could list 
the things that one tool should check in the request or response, while 
the interoperability test case would define what elements should be 
present in the request, and what relevant elements.....

In my message of 19/1/2010 I made an initial proposal for scoping the 
interoperability test cases on the core, where I identified a number of 
opitional elements and optional inputs that I see that should be tested....

I was thinking in specifyint test cases by enumerating the elements and 
optional inputs so that each one would allow to test interoperability of 
certain aspects:

<SignRequest>
    <InputDocument><Base64XML/></InputDocument>
    <OptionalInput>
       <ClaimedIdentity>
    </OptionalInput>
</SignRequest>
It is a pity that I can not make next Monday, because we could talk 
about that, anyway we may go on by email.
We may go on by email..:

Regards

Juan Carlos.
