For me, the critical issue is not "testability" as that seems to imply some
hands-on lab kind of thing. What is critical is that the standards be
clear, understandable, and interpreted consistently which in turn allows
procurement officials to reliably verify conformance (e.g. the same product
would be rated reasonably the same by any reviewer.) But that rating could
be done through review of paper information rather than a "testing process"
as seems to be associated with with word "testable".

Subject: [teitac-telecom] follow up to yesterday's meeting


Hi All,

Thanks to Mary, Brenda, and the rest of you for an excellent meeting
yesterday.

I'd like to follow up on one item. I don't know who spoke up on the issue
of testability/verification, etc., but there were general murmurs of
agreement afterwards. If I remember correctly, it was that there are a
number of terms, and that they might have multiple meanings and/or meanings
with specific legal implications. Can someone point us to a resource on
this, or offer some specific info?

It's obviously important not only for this subcommittee, but for the others
and the general work of TEITAC.

Thanks in advance.
