| Summary | 0007886: Separate test configuration declaration and instantiation |
| Description | Similar to gate/component types and gate/component instances, it may make sense refine the way test configurations are declared and used. Currently test configurations are instantiated with concrete role assignments which makes it a static construct. Part 7 introduces some means to reuse / override role assignments and perform further refinements.
The proposal is to separate test configuration declaration and instantiation, where there are at least two alternative approaches:
Alternative 1:
Base test configuration may not contain roles, role declaration can be moved to test configuration instantiation or test configuration use, thus there will be three levels in the specification of test configurations:
- abstract/declaration: components and connections
- concrete/instantiation: role assignment (optionally connection modification?)
- use: only for concrete configurations (or optionally abstract + role assignment?)
Alternative 2:
Base configuration with extended test configuration added on top to refine/reassign roles (making use of Part 7). This approach may be confusing as according to the current meta-model roles have to be assigned already in the base configuration.
The approach in Alternative 1 would provide more flexibility, but also increase potential for errors and require more sophisticated checking to detect and report them. |
