Diagram Req on testing Framework

[Chris Kam Ming Chui]

Hi,

I was wondering if I can get some clarifications on which diagrams
required for the testing framework . I seem to see different requirements
from each provided source:

From Tutorial3.pdf:

- class diagram
- component diagram
- object diagram
- message sequence chart OR pseudocode

From Proj desc v2.2:

- class diagram
- component diagram
- object diagram
- message sequence chart

From SDD template:

- class diagram
- component diagram
- deployment diagram
- pseudocode

Can you please clarify what's the overall requirement for the documents?
Only class diagram and component diagram are required consistently across
all three docs. The rest is missing from one doc or another. (In
particular, if pseudocode is provided, is msg seq chart optional or
mandatory.)

Also, for anything req'd that isn't in the SDD template, can you clarify
which section they should go?

Thanks,
Chris

P.S. Will summaries of the last Monday's help session be posted soon? I
recall Sean said in class he will post some of the information discussed....

Indeed.  The project notes posted
at http://www.swen.uwaterloo.ca/~kostas/ECE453-06/project/project-notes-2.13.doc
have yet ANOTHER set of requirements for the testing framework.

The section regarding the SDD first gives a note saying that the SRS is
not to contain information regarding the testing infrastructure...I'm
going to assume that this a mistake, as it's speaking of the SRS, and
that the SDD is to contain information regarding our testing framework.

The document then goes on to say that the following is required of the
testing infrastructure:

*Design decisions
*Component Diagram with description of external interfaces
*Detailed class diagram with data dictionary
*Object Diagram
*Message Sequence Chart
*Pseudocode?? It's really not clear from the notes.
*Schema for test drivers and stub oracles

That makes four separate sources of requirements, all conflicting in
some way or another.

Could we please have a definitive list of what is required for the
testing infrastructure?  At least let us know which document takes
precedence.  We are trying to do the best we can to get this project
ready for submission in a timely manner, but it is being made quite
difficult by the fact that there are conflicting requirements.  This is
a very busy time for many of us, and our group would like to get this
project finished as soon as possible.  However, we're not sure whether
half the documents we're constructing will even be required.  It makes
the task quite inconvenient.

Thanks in advance,

Conor
