Contents of the presentation • Overview of process • Release & tracking process • Handling of work orginating from affilliate organisations • OMA Approved WIs and Work Programme
OMA has three processes • The OMA organisation and process document • Deals with general procedural matters for the Technical Plenary and in particular handling of Work Items and the subsequent specification/enabler development life cycle • The OMA IOP process document • Deals with interoperability processes, policies and principles • The OMA Work Programme and Release Handling process document • Deals with procedures for the OMA work programme and the release of enablers
OMA Work Programme and Release Handling process • The process deals with the following topics: • What kind of information the WP tracks • When the information need to be made available to the WP • How the information needed as input to the WP is to be collected and distributed • How the information collected as part of the WP is intended to be used • How OMA Releases are defined and named • How OMA Releases are planned and managed • How specifications and releases from incoming affiliates are handled
OMA Release Programme • OMA working process is a market driven, continuous program designed to deliver three key milestones • Ensures products and services work together seamlessly • Requires thorough interoperability testing • 3 Phases • Phase 1: Candidate Enabler Release • Phase 2: Approved Enabler Release • Phase 3: Interoperability Release
OMA Release Programme • OMA uses a Work Item List to scope an activity in OMA, including: • a list of deliverables, • a time schedule for the work to be undertaken • any dependencies that the WI may have towards other ongoing work within or outside of OMA • An Enabler Release is a collection of specifications that when combined form an enabler for a service area, e.g a download enabler, browsing enabler, etc. • An Interoperability Release is a number of Enablers that have gone through the OMA Interoperability process and have proven interoperability
Tracking of work in progress • All working groups that have ownership of Work Items are required to maintain time schedules for the work that is related to the Work Item • Information of time schedules for the work is collected on a regular basis by the Release Planning and Management Committee • The result is compiled and made available to the Technical Plenary and its working groups
Release process (1/4) Phase1 CandidateSpecification Review andapproval bythe TP CandidateSpecification CandidateEnablerRelease EnablerReleaseDefinition Supportingdocuments DraftSpecification + + • The WG responsible for a WI identifies specifications to be included in an enabler and kicks off drafting the Enabler Release Definition (ERELD) • When the specifications, ERELD and Enabler Test Requirements have been drafted and considered to be complete, they undergo a consistency review • After the complete enabler package with the Requirements Document and Architecture Document, plus supporting information is submitted to the TP for review and approval • The TP approval of the release results in a Candidate Enabler Release where all specifications belonging to it also get Candidate status
Release process (2/4) Phase2 (1/2) IUT IOT Test Fest IUT CandidateEnablerRelease IOTEnablerTestcases IUT EnablerTest Report + + • The Candidate Enabler Release plus the IOT enabler test cases and IUT (Implementations Under Test) are used as input to OMA Test Fests for interoperability testing • The Test Fests are likely to result in a number of Problem Reports (PRs) and Change Requests (CRs) that lead to updates of the specifications and test cases • A successful Test Fest proves interoperability on enabler level and is documented in a Enabler Test Report
Release process (3/4) Phase2 (2/2) Incorporate CRs ApprovedCRs CandidateEnablerRelease UpdatedCandidateEnablerRelease ApprovedCRs ApprovedCRs based on PRs + Review andapproval bythe TP UpdatedCandidateEnablerRelease EnablerTest Report ApprovedEnablerRelease + • The documents in the Candidate Enabler Release are updated with the approved CRs to get a clean release • The updated Candidate Enabler Release plus the final Enabler Test Report are brought to the Technical Plenary for approval • The Technical Plenary approves the release becoming an Approved Enabler Release where all specifications belonging to it
Release process (4/4) Phase3 Review andapproval bythe TP ApprovedEnablerRelease ApprovedEnablerRelease ApprovedEnablerRelease Interopreleasedefinition ApprovedInter-operabilityRelease + • Progress of the work items that are intended to be included in an Interoperability Release is tracked • Based on this input, the TP combines Approved Enabler Releases with an Interoperability Release definition and this combined forms an Interoperability Release • The Approved Interoperability Release is made publicly available by OMA after TP approval
Work Item Approved • OMA maintains a list of approved WIs To be updated before the Workshop
Summary • Release planning process is well defined • OMA maintains a work programme in which WI and enabler specifications are well referenced and tracked • OMA work can be shared with partner organisations, in particular 3GPP
