Introduction
As discussed at the TPTP F-2-F, we are reorganizing several components to accommodate the change in resources for 4.5.
The reorganization will be completed in 4.5 I4 (see 4.5 Schedule).
Component Classifications
- General Availability (GA): Core components for use by the user community and/or adoption by consuming products.
- Compatibility: See the TPTP API Contract.
- Testing: Full test coverage per iteration and maintenance release. See the TPTP Test Pass Criteria.
- Support: Enhancements, defects and community support (e.g. news group and mailing list posts).
- Technology Preview: Incubator components for evaluation and experimentation by the user community and consuming products.
- Compatibility: See the TPTP API Contract.
- Testing: Smoke test coverage per iteration and maintenance release. See the TPTP Test Pass Criteria.
- Support: As with GA components but at a lower priority.
- As-is: Previously GA or Technology Preview components no longer supported.
- Compatibility: None.
- Testing: None.
- Support: None.
Proposed Component Organization
- The following GA components will move to As-is:
- Perfmon (monitoring agent and statistical views) (see bug 208586 and bug 212787).
- Manual Test (test type, runner, and Manual Test View) (see bug 207777, bug 211993, and bug 213571).
- BIRT Reports (test, log, trace, and statistical BIRT report generators) (see bug 210576, bug 211994, and bug 213589).
- RCP Log Analyzer and Symptom Catalog Editor (see bug 209057 and bug 212788).
- The following Technology Preview components will move to As-is:
- Automated GUI Recording (AGR) (recorder, test type, and runner) (see bug 210577 and bug 213588).
- The following deprecated Technology Preview components will be retired (see bug 210579):
- Code Coverage
- Memory Manager
- X-Ray Profiler
- The following Technology Preview components will not change:
- API Recorder Framework
- Build-to-Manage Toolkit for .NET
- C/C++ Code Review Provider
- All other components are GA components.
Notes
- As-is components will be occasionally built and packaged.
- New and existing defects for as-is components will be returned as WONTFIX with the following comment:
In TPTP 4.5, the <component name> was moved from a <General Availability (GA) or Technology Preview> component to an As-Is component. As-Is components are primarily provided for prior users but imply no support (for example, defects, news group, and mailing lists) or commitment to triage or resolve opened defects. For this defect to be considered, please re-open with an attached patch including code to resolve the symptom and test cases to test the fix.
- New news group and mailing list posts on as-is components that cannot be easily answered (for example, configuration problems, installation issues, etc.) will be answered with the following reply:
In TPTP 4.5, the <component name> was moved from a <General Availability (GA) or Technology Preview> component to an As-Is component. As-Is components are primarily provided for prior users but imply no support (for example, defects, news group, and mailing lists).
- Re-activation and contribution will be considered if there is community support.
- Preferably only GA and Technology Preview components should be promoted and presented at conferences, during webinars, and on the TPTP web site.
- The as-is section on the TPTP download site will contain the following disclaimer:
Previously General Availability (GA) or Technology Preview components are primarily provided for prior users but imply no support (for example, defects, news group, and mailing lists). There is no commitment to triage or resolve opened defects. In order to be considered, submitted patches should include code and test cases to support the fix.
