Introduction

Overview

This specification defines resource shapes for OSLC Quality Management resources. The intent is to define resources needed to support common integration scenarios and not to provide a comprehensive definition of quality management artefacts. The resource formats may not match exactly the native models supported by quality management service providers, but are intended to be compatible with them. The approach to supporting these scenarios is to delegate operations, as driven by service provider contributed user interfaces, as much as possible and not require a service provider to expose its complete data model and application logic.

Terminology

Terminology is based on OSLC Core Overview [[!OSLCCore3]], W3C Linked Data Platform [[!LDP]], W3C's Architecture of the World Wide Web [[WEBARCH]], Hyper-text Transfer Protocol [[!HTTP11]].

References

In addition to the namespace URIs and namespace prefixes oslc, rdf, dcterms and foaf defined in the OSLC Core specification, OSLC qm defines the namespace URI of http://open-services.net/ns/qm# with a namespace prefix of oslc_qm

This specification also uses these namespace prefix definitions:

oslc_cm : http://open-services.net/ns/cm# [[OSLCCM]]
oslc_rm : http://open-services.net/ns/rm# [[OSLCRM]]

Quality Management Resource Constraints

Resource: TestPlanShape

Test Plan defines the overall process and strategy for testing a system

Resource: TestScriptShape

Test Script defines a program or list of steps used to conduct a test.

Resource: TestCaseShape

Test Case defines the criteria which determine whether a system exhibits the correct behavior under a specific set of circumstances.

Resource: TestResultShape

Test Result describes the outcome of attempting to execute a test.

Resource: TestExecutionRecordShape

Test Execution Record is a plan for execution of a test."
