  Agenda

1. Conformance Testing, Full Matrix Test vs. test harness

Minutes

• Test harness (Geant fed lab): now being developed for OpenID/Connect. SMAL not available yet in the second version that separates backend and frontend. A new version of the test harness was developed for OpenId/Connect. The SAML-engine needs to be integrated into it.
• Test harness should be configurable for various deployment profiles (US, CA, FI, AT, ..)
• John: Scenario and deployment testing is more useful than testing of isolated functions, because the latter does not tell you if actual features really work.
• To use the fedlab test harness one has to instrument the proxy to get the feedback. Keith noted that he failed to do that.
• John: Can we get the resources together to put together the test cases needed for the Full Matrix test?
• Keith: There was no interest in developing test cases for the Full Matrix Test to test eGov 2.0 Interop profile.
• It seems to be reasonable to focus on the development of test cases for the test harness
• Future Full Matrix Tests could be conducted based on test harness infrastructure if there is demand; Uninett could be contracted for that.
• John says that a number of weeks would have to be invested to develop the eGov 2.0 test cases.
• Rainer says that the allocation of some modest budget to implement the tests for the Austrian eGov profile is likely to be awarded.
• Leif said he will establish a contact between Hedberg Roland working for G
