[Oslc-Automation] Preparing OSLC Automation specification for finalization

[Pramod K Chandoria]

Hi Mike,
On of the thing which causes adoption issues in Rational Quality Manager 
is the mandatory 'state' attribute on Automation Result (besides mandatory 
verdict) which is actually 'spill over' from Automation Request.
Probably it must be optional so service provider can get it's value from 
Automation Request as long Automation Request has not been purged. Service 
providers should not be forced to introduce state of Result.
The service providers which truly supports complete lifecycle of 
Automation Specification resources  Automation Plan -> Automation Request 
-> Automation Result, will face this issue.
I know this issues has been raised earlier as well but worth to mention as 
implementation challenge for RQM down the line.
Any thoughts?

Regards

The OSLC Automation workgroup has wrapped up all open issues raised so far 
and it is time to think about moving the specification to Finalization 
phase.   Finalization means that the specification is ready for 
implementation and can still be updated based on implementation 
experience.  

Some items in the spec that are not yet complete or in need of update are:

Appendix A (Samples):  Update to be in alignment with the spec
Appendix B (Resource Shapes):  Need to be created
Automation Vocabulary (
http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/AutomationVocabulary) : reviewed 
and updated as needed

I will start working on these items for next week's (23 August) workgroup 
meeting.  If anyone wants to assist, let me know.

Additional activities that will start soon and carry into Finalization 
are:  Automation reference implementation and Automation test suite.  I 
have proposed these assets be created in the Eclipse Lyo (
http://eclipse.org/lyo) project.   Some folks have expressed interest in 
participating in these activities in the last workgroup meeting.  If you 
would like to add your name, please contact me.


Regards,
Mike
