| 1 init(type,args) # init repo:

| # * args can be root, connection string...
| load(stm) # obtain STM from repo

[ STM ]
| 1 parse_head() # parse text and fill out metadata properties
| gen_sts(args) # generate a number of STS from an STM
| # * args - args specify ranges from where
| # STMs are generated; typically

[ STS ] = STM + ARGS
| 1 gen_task(sts,args) # a task (or a number of) can be created
| # from STS. In less managed scenarios
| # (e.g. Beta testing) STS can be served
| # right away, and task ID will be generated
| # off-site, e.g. using embedded JS, at
| # time of report

[ TSK ] = STS + TID
More graphical, from HTTP POV
the main source file is stored in repository, under revision say, 123
/release/rc.stm
+------------------[ vcs rev: 123 ]-----+ | STM # Source file | +---------------------------------------+ | Name: Release Client | | Component: ~ | | Description: Basic release criterion | | Owner: some.guy@example.com | | Various ISTQB BS: this; that... | | | | Here the body sterts... | | | | # Main # | | 1. Check A | | > result is a | | 2. Check IMAPIsm {proto==imap} | | 2. Check POP3ism {proto==pop3} | | > result is OK | +---------------------------------------+QA operator requests for Slave (i.e. a variation for his specific needs); text/plain version. Notice how revision number is passed down to the Slave
GET /release/rc.stm?os=7&proto=imap Accept: text/plain +---------------------------------------+ | STS # Slave template | +---------------------------------------+ | Stm: /release/rc.stm | | Stm Revision: 123 | | Params: os=7; proto=imap | | | | Here the body starts... | | | | # Main # | | 1. Check A | | > result is a | | 2. Check IMAPIsm | | > result is OK | +---------------------------------------+or they may like HTML better (and POP3 rather than IMAP)...
GET /release/rc.stm?os=7&proto=pop3 Accept: text/html +---------------------------------------+ | HTML # Generated from STS | +---------------------------------------+ | # HTML version of above... | | # With POP3 step instead of IMAP step | | | : : ' '
