Some useful free tools for debugging interop issues (Fiddler2 and
SoapUI) that you might want to install before the session.

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for filling in such a detailed report of the events of the session!  This is really helpful.

Chamindra -
I've added lots of content & reformatted the doc.  Changes are mainly in the last half.  It's a still a hodgepodge, but I've done all the editing I can stand or have time for.  I hope someone can give it an overhaul.

Thanks Glenn, Ping,

I will take a stab at cleaning up the report as well over the weekend.
One thing I think I would like to add (which was originally planned)
is a section for an abstracted set of scenarios/use-cases that are
mapped to the PFIF test cases.

Hi,

I've posted the files that I exported from the tests in which NLM PL pushed data back to Google PF, available in subdirectories here:

http://zesty.ca/pfif/testing/

I'm working on a comparison tool that will allow us to directly compare two XML files.  If each repository implementation can export their data as XML, we'll be able to conduct these tests much more easily.

Louiqa -
Test (a) in the figure is essential your (1.).  Mapping always goes on, but I don't show it (a), because it's not part of the verification in that method.

At this time, because the native PFIF tables in PL are rather new, we don't yet have the "reverse mapping" needed for your (2.), so we didn't propose it for a test case.  This summer should see good progress there.

Ping might perform the compare.  Or he can make the data that PL pushed (round-tripped) to PF, and that he dumped as an XML file, public so that anyone can do the compare.  (There was actually one such file for each such test case performed.  The last one pushed, for Test 1.7, is the whole data set and most directly comparable with the whole originating data set.)

Glenn - For the first test - I suggest breaking into 2 parts.
1. Pull an object from PF1, map to PL (without any change to the
   object and push to PF2.
2. Pull an object from PF1, map to PL, modify by adding some data,
   push to PF2.

Who will perform the "Compare"?
