[hyades-dev] Re: Hyades Deployment


Hi Neil,

There have been some additions / clarifications to the test model that have not yet been dropped because the Model group as a whole was not ready to do a drop on Tuesday.  Attached is a zip file containing the current common and test cat files -- I think the changes to the configuration package may answer some of your questions.  After taking a look at this model, if it doesn't shed light on all of your questions, please let me know which things are still unclear (via e-mail, please -- I'm in a meeting all day), and I'll try to answer as quickly as I can.

Thanks,
--Joe

[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.

Thanks in advance

Neil
