Topic: Test suite planning
15:13:33 [Norm]
Norm looks for help and advice in constructing an adequate test suite on the assumption we'll make it through Last Call and get to CR easily.
15:14:17 [Norm]
Norm: There are already about 80 or so at tests.xproc.org
15:15:15 [Norm]
Henry: What's the metadata you need?
15:15:29 [Norm]
Norm: There's documentation for the test format at tests.xproc.org, but I'm happy to adjust it as necessary.
15:15:53 [Norm]
Norm: We will stall if we don't get a test suite...
15:16:58 [Norm]
Henry: My metadata question was about coverage. We need to give some thought to the metadata to describe *what features* are tested.
15:17:26 [Norm]
...We need to be able to characterize the tests to make the interoperability claim have some teeth.
15:18:06 [Norm]
Norm: I was going to analyze the test suite for missing steps and missing options on steps.
15:18:59 [Norm]
Henry: That's a good start, but there are also questions about the topology of the pipeline and the inheritence of variables and defaulting of pipes, etc.
15:19:22 [Norm]
...Those aren't as easy to enumerate.
15:19:56 [Norm]
Norm: I was also hoping to have tests for every static and dynamic error as well, that covers many of those things.
15:21:41 [Norm]
Richard: The XML test suite doesn't attempt to identify the "correct" error and this has sometimes caused problems.
15:21:50 [Norm]
Henry: Having explicit error codes helps a little bit.
15:23:00 [Norm]
Norm: Metadata is a good idea, maybe we should have some email discussiona bout how to devise metadata that covers the spec.
15:23:19 [Norm]
Topic: Any other business?
15:23:41 [Norm]
Vojtech: Regarding error codes, right now we have gaps in the numbering. Is that ok?
15:24:36 [Norm]
Norm: I think it is. We talkeda bout it once before and decided that the cost was larger than the benefit.
15:24:42 [Norm]
Vojtech/Henry: I'm ok with that.
15:24:49 [Norm]
Adjourned.
