| Summary | 0007802: Separation of language constructs that are applicable for globally vs locally ordered descriptions |
| Description | TDL v1.4.1 introduced locally ordered behaviour as an alternative to globally ordered behavior. Local and global ordering are different ways of specifying control flow of test description behaviour. The ordering is specified for TestDescriptions and ordering-specific constraints apply to the behaviour elements within that TestDescription.
There are no syntactical differences between locally ordered and globally ordered behaviour specifications.
In order to provide clarity for implementers of TDL test descriptions as well as simplify tool support, it may be considered to add syntactic sugar to TDL for expressing key behavioural concepts in order-specific manner. Technically, this would mean creating parallel meta-classes for locally and globally ordered cases that represent the same concept but have different constraints and control-flow related semantics. |
| Additional Information | The above does not represent a recommendation by STF 522 but rather is raised to prompt further discussion. |
