Dave sent an email identifying the ITC meeting information. Attendees: Jim O'Reilly, Dan Fan, Ernie Wahl. Dave will send out the conference call number.
Goals: Review existing STIL specs, consider how to proceed with ours - what should the draft structure be? Can we generate a "test case" (a reference test plan), review from an execution perspective.
 
 
Continuing with the May 14th Flow Control Issues list:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9b)  How are the return ports specified?
Ernie is suggesting using a boolean logic equation (arbiter) to determine the result of a subflow.
Don's approach is to have an explicit return flownode in the subflow.
(Lots of discussions regarding the abstractions of tests and flows.)
Ernie feels that it is important to be able to create a "test" by connecting a bunch of other tests.
We didn't really close on this specifics of the question (we spent much time on broader issues regarding different approaches of different languages) but we did say we'd like to be able to handle various approaches used by different tester languages.
 
Next time - issue 10.
