(d) A clear English-language summary of the specification: This document
specifies the structure and semantics of a test assertion. A test assertion
is a
testable or measurable expression for evaluating the adherence of an
implementation to one or more normative statements in a specification. The
model
presented here allows for writing test assertions that bridge the narrative
of a
specification with the related test suite, acting as an intermediary step
toward
the development of executable test cases. Companion documents not part of
this
specification but developed by the TAG TC are available as complement: (1) a
primer document, "Test Assertions Guidelines" (Committee Note) as user guide.
(2), an XML representation and schema for the model "Test Assertion Markup
Language" (Committee Specification).
