| [hyades-dev] Hyades Deployment |
Hello All, particularly test-profile and configuration modellers, I'd really appreciate it if somebody could help my understanding of the configuration model, so I can progress the design of UI extension-points. I was going to attend the test-model meeting today to get answers to my questions, but since its been cancelled I'm sending this mail. I sent a question round last week regarding mappings between CFGDeployableInstances and CFGLocations and I've attached it again to this email because I think it still stands. Basically I need to know : 1. Is a TPFDeployment intended to exist independently of any TPFTestSuite (the association-by-reference between the two, would suggest that it is)? 2. If (1) is true, then surely a TPFDeployment is simply a container for a collection of CFGLocations, and can be referenced by multiple TPFTestSuites...is this true? 3. If a TPFDeployment is independent, then surely it cannot contain any references to TPFTestSuite-specific entities (i.e. the CFGFDeployableInstances), however, at the moment it seems that it does. Is there a need for some kind of TPFTestSuite-specific entity (e.g. a TPFCFGMapping) which encapsulates and persists the mappings between CFGDeployableInstances and CFGLocations? In this way a TPFTestSuite could maintain multiple independent mappings into the same TPFDeployment. Perhaps this is the intent of CFGArtifact, I don't know. I may be way-off in my interpretation of the configuration model, and perhaps my questions don't make sense, but if somebody from the test model group could contact me and put me right (even if these issues haven't been fully resolved yet) then it would really help.
