The interop call will be 30 minutes prior to this weeks KMIP TC call on the same dial-in number as the main call. Contact myself or Bob Griffin for the dial-in details if you do not already have them. Agenda: - Booth logistics updates from Jane Harnad - Confirmation of status from informal interop - Discussion on any unexpected test results - Profiles status update - Note key interop schedule dates: - Formal Interop testing start/finish 14-25th Jan 2013 (i.e. on Monday) - Publication of results 29 Jan 2013 As there have be some queries from vendors about the process for the formal interop I've outlined the steps noted from what we have used previously to make the requirements clearer to new participants. Interoperability testing shall be performed by each KMIP client implementation interacting with each server implementation, testing only the capabilities reported as being supported by the relevant server implementation participant. The following steps shall be performed: 1. KMIP client runs all relevant test cases against a given server 2. KMIP client records all requests and responses 3. KMIP server records all requests and responses 4. KMIP client and server participants compare results 5. KMIP client and server work to resolve any discrepancies 6. Where the results are agreed, KMIP client and server participants are to provide their completed reports for compilation 7. Where the results are not agreed, the issue is to be referred to the interop participants for resolution. Thanks, Tim.
