Re: [Xsltforms-support] Native XForms unit test tool

[Stephen C. <ste...@gm...>]

Hi Eric,

Interesting subject, I won't go into details now but to me it raises some
important questions.

XForms is an interoperable forms standard, that different implementations
behave differently is therefore a bit disturbing!

That leads on to the question, at what level should we test? The argument
we made about XForms being data-driven programming at Balisage seems to
indicate to me that such automated testing isn't likely to give great
benefits, as it would for imperative coding. If the engine passes the test
suite of the Xforms standard then that should be enough testing.

I'll think more about this when my mind is clearer

Regard,
Steve Cameron
