Dear Stefano, in the last TSC you asked for a feedback on the survey for a QA under FhG Fokus. We have discussed this internally and here is the feedback (not just covering the survey): We in principle confirm the necessity of a QA process to keep the quality level high and thus to enable a positive reputation for FIWARE. We also consider the price tag of 500€ per test as normally appropriate. For a final assessment it is required to know more about the agreement. 1. Will the tests be performed on a GE by GE basis, or will there be standard configurations with different GEs involved tested? 2. What happens, if the GE is not modified? Is the test (and the costs) skipped then? 3. What if a test shows some shortcomings, which are then fixed. Will there be a second test? Will this be charged again 500€? 4. Will the test suite be available to perform (a priori) own tests? 5. What are the detailed test procedures and which quality metrics and -values do apply? 6. Will we get a detailed feedback on the test results, which enables us a quick fix? 7. Is it possible to get a copy of the agreement with FOKUS to be able to assess the details? 8. Can the tests be sufficiently standardized to allow the FF to award ‘seals or labels for FIWARE compliance/approval? Is such a ‘certification’ planned? 9. Will ALL GEs need to be tested externally (by FOKUS) or is it planned to let owners assess on their own (self-assessment)? As you can see, we are looking mostly on transparency aspects. The feedback of the FI-NEXT (and FI-PPP) tests was a bit limited and unpredictable. Comment to the survey - It is difficult to give feedback, the questions are quite generic, but if you think, the answers are valuable for you, fine. - The question on documentation: are you addressing here the assessment of the documentation or the documentation of assessment? This is unclear to us, and thus maybe also for others. - Maybe a general form could be provided asking ‘what do you expect from the test’ to collect the view of the developers - Proposal: can you provide a pdf/word version of the survey? Not to fill in, this needs to be done online, but for an initial assessment and discussion in the group, as well as to be able to get the approval of the management. - (do not provide an editing mode which allows to modify the survey) This is our feedback Best Stefan and Martin -------------------------------------------------- Stefan Gessler Project Manager and Data Protection Officer NEC Laboratories Europe GmbH Kurfuersten Anlage 36 D-69115 Heidelberg GERMANY phone +49 6221 4342 114 fax +49 6221 4342 155 email: stefan.gessler at neclab.eu<mailto:stefan.gessler at neclab.eu> Registered at Amtsgericht Mannheim, Germany, HRB728558 (VAT: DE313703076) Managing Director: Dr. Jürgen Quittek -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
