Test format proposal / implementation deep dive

[s3ththompson]

On the ARIA-AT CG call yesterday (March 25, 2021) we discussed how to design improvements to the test format (including #404 a proposal for a hybrid manual/automated test format, #363 command sequence changes, and #388 compositional test formats). @jscholes brought up the additional need to discuss a phased or iterative approach to implementation, possibly including the creation of versioned test formats to avoid needing to port existing tests in one fell swoop to the future new test format.

We decided to host one or more deep dives to allow for proper time for discussion.

Possible agenda topics:

1. Disambiguating between iterative improvements to existing proposal vs. a new format for hybrid (automated/manual) tests
2. Feedback on hybrid test format proposal
3. Clarify syntax for non-APG test sources
4. Versioned tests
5. Implementation approach (phased / iterative? scripted migration? versions?)

Please feel free to suggest other topics below.

The meeting will be co-run by Bocoup and PAC. Please reply to this issue if you'd like to be included in the one-off meeting invitation. Scheduling TBD, likely week of March 29.
