Hi Mike, On of the thing which causes adoption issues in Rational Quality Manager is the mandatory 'state' attribute on Automation Result (besides mandatory verdict) which is actually 'spill over' from Automation Request. Probably it must be optional so service provider can get it's value from Automation Request as long Automation Request has not been purged. Service providers should not be forced to introduce state of Result. The service providers which truly supports complete lifecycle of Automation Specification resources Automation Plan -> Automation Request -> Automation Result, will face this issue. I know this issues has been raised earlier as well but worth to mention as implementation challenge for RQM down the line. Any thoughts?

Finalization means that the specification is ready for implementation and can still be updated based on implementation experience. Some items in the spec that are not yet complete or in need of update are: Appendix A (Samples): Update to be in alignment with the spec Appendix B (Resource Shapes): Need to be created Automation Vocabulary ( http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/AutomationVocabulary) : reviewed and updated as needed I will start working on these items for next week's (23 August) workgroup meeting. If anyone wants to assist, let me know. Additional activities that will start soon and carry into Finalization are: Automation reference implementation and Automation test suite. I have proposed these assets be created in the Eclipse Lyo ( http://eclipse.org/lyo) project. Some folks have expressed interest in participating in these activities in the last workgroup meeting. If you would like to add your name, please contact me.
