• We are reorganizing several components to accommodate the change in resources for 4.5:
  • See 4.5 Component Reorganization for more information.

• Enhancements:
  • The milestones for these enhancements have been scheduled on the weekly schedule.
  • 202695 Encrypted datapool variable support: Will be completed by a non-committer from IBM (Xin Ying Huang). Paul and Joe are working closely with Xin Ying to answer design-specific questions through the implementation.
  • 162605 Test execution should support parallel execution of tests: Duwayne has scheduled a call for Tuesday to discuss the following
    • Use cases:
      • Launch two or more tests (different or same test types).
      • Launching/running agents and collecting results in parallel.
    • Test cases for these use cases.
    • Results from running the test cases on the existing implementation.
    • Itemized list of failures.
  • 166025 Move, Copy, Delete, Rename and Import/Export test assets.: See the meeting minutes for the design review. Paul will work with Jerome after I4 development to continue the original design discussion since this is an important enhancement for TPTP in 4.5, Jerome is new to the project, and Jerome is only 50% on TPTP.
  • 208110 Generic Recorder Wizard enhancement to filter the list of recorders: Paul has closed on the design with the originator (see meeting minutes).

• Defects:
  • Defect query

• 144950 [Scalability] Address TPTP EMF model scalability problems: Although withdrawn as a 4.5 candidate enhancement, the outcome/status of the work done in 4.4 on this enhancement was not updated in the WIKI page. Joe will update the WIKI this week.

• Test project topics for upcoming AG calls include:
  • Enhancement 166025 (Move, Copy, Delete, Rename and Import/Export test assets): Jerome.
  • Test automation initiative: Alan/Joel
  • EMMA: Paul

Notes

• EclipseCon 2008:
  • Test and Performance Category: This category covers topics related to test and performance tooling that leverage Eclipse. Test and Performance tooling is used throughout the software development and test life cycle, from early unit testing, profiling, and tuning to post-deployment monitoring, tracing, and log analysis. This category is focused on the implementation, extension, and use of test and performance tooling - both open source and commercial - targeting a broad spectrum of systems including embedded, stand-alone, distributed, and enterprise. There is particular interest in exploitation and user experience of the Test and Performance Tools Platform (TPTP) project.
  • If you are interested in proposing a poster (presented at the poster reception session) or BoF (informal one-and-a-half-hour gatherings of people who want to talk about a particular topic), please:
    • Review the EclipseCon 2008 Submission Guidelines
    • Submit your poster or BoF
  • Important dates include:
    • December 10, 2007: Tutorials, Long Talks, and Short Talks selected.
    • January 19, 2008: Submissions open for posters and BoFs.

• Paul and the Release Engineering Team are working on consolidating our testing process and automation infrastructure. For more information, see the WIKI page and meeting minutes.

Reminders

• Lead Committers:
  • Continually review copyright reports and ensure files will missing copyright or incorrect copyright year are corrected.
  • Add the Original Estimate (PH) when triaging a new defect.
  • Update the Hours Worked (PH) when completing a defect.
  • Test their components or review/track testing contributed by other committers/resources.
  • Monitor the TPTP news group and answer posts specific to their Test Project components.
  • Verify that all API changes (modifications, additions, and removals) do not breech the TPTP API Contract.
  • Use the MyFoundation Portal for committer elections. The Portal adds more automation to the elections and makes the individual project elections more transparent to the entire Eclipse community. If you have been experiencing problems or have other issues with the Portal election process, please contact the EMO (emo@eclipse.org).

• All Committers:
  • Monitor the TPTP news group and answer posts on topics other than the Test Project to support our user community.
