Minutes
Attendees: Steve, Dominic, Simon, Ingrid, Scott, Ian, Jim, Dave
Apologies:
Ingrid: no implementation plans for Caliber RM. Awaiting OSLC QM implementation. Providing RM from Caliber.
Simon: still playing catch-up - looks like there is relevant information on the QM providers page. Links to more information would be value.
Scott- market awareness and also technical side.
Simon: How wide has the discussion been around baselines? DOORS baselines have been there for a number of years, but including links has been only relatively recently. Traceability needs to be included. Jim concurs. Also emphasised the need for composite or cross-application baselines.
How to ensure that the spec. is doing what RM requires? Submit use cases to the oSLC core may not be enough - we likely need personal contributions. Scott: not only to influence but also to feedback into RM.
Need to nominate someone - Simon suggested that we leave Ian to email when things are being discussed. Ian to circulate link to that material.
Dominic: attachments not that interesting.
Simon: Agreement that baselining is more fundamental to what we're trying to achieve.
Dave: change log proposal is of value. Discussion on Feb 9th will show the benefits. Ian/Dave to put together some material together for RM workgroup.
Scott: Expectation is that domain workgroups will drive RM-specific tests reference implementations etc. We don't want to force this on the workgroups, but it would. Simon: most interested as a consumer - test suites are well-worn path for compliance. RI can be useful to generate understanding of something that is new. 5% of design process, thereafter used only occassionally. Scott concurred.
Simon: requirements organization - a bag of requirements is not always helpful. How do we offer requirements in a structured way.
