-------------------------------
 
Regarding last weeks minutes. No issues.
 
Don and Ernie have been having on-going discussions regarding the syntax and data model. Should the .4 group overall review/participate in this - starting in the next call?
 
Regarding Dave's Use case (Use case #1):
Regarding the priority ranking - what do people feel about this? It could be interpretted in two ways - as a requirement for a language feature or as a requirement that this use-case by implementable. We may consider just dropping the priority rankings to just two: "required" and "future want".
We did a walk-though in the various topics:
Priority:
Assumptions/Prerequistes:
Preconditions:
Task/Scenario: -Don:  what about limits/parameters? Dave: These may be prepackaged in the TestMethod. Also note that the 2nd portion of the continuity test (using the parameter system), provides two advantages - it may be more accurate, and two, measurement data may need to be recorded. Ernie: a continuity test is probably the most difficult test to represent across different testers. Ernie: would this be represented by two primitives (test methods)? or a single one? Ernie: would like to have a model of a tester's capabilities. Dave: but for our work all we need to cover is information available and needed for the flow.Ernie: there are various ways of implementing this, depending on what assumptions I can make about the underlying tester (such as whether there is a continuity failure counter). Dave: this use case is not prescribing one way or another. Jim: I feel the fail counters ought to be part of the bin construct.
Next call is on Tuesday the 3rd. We'll continue with this use-case. Maybe followed by some of the syntax the Don and Ernie.
