[hyades-dev] Model issues post 1.0

[Michael.Norman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I just thought I'd pull together a few strands which I think are 
emerging in disparate groups.

There are obviously some issues to do with the Java-specificity of the 
current Trace Model.  No criticism of those involved, doing Java well 
for the first release was the right thing to do.

There are some discussions in the Execution Histories group as to 
whether fine-grained test events (timers, synchronization, loop starts, 
etc.) belong in the Execution History or in the Trace, or both, or even 
whether the execution history might just be a special kind of trace.

There is also the issue that the trace model doesn't derive teribly well 
from the UML 2 subset we have borrowed for the test model.

We're obviously going to leave these three issues hanging at 1.0, but we 
should address them soon thereafter and aim to get them resolved for the 
next quarterly release.

Regards,

Mike
