Test Plan for PTP 6.x Release
This plan describes the tests that will be undertaken to verify the 6.x series of PTP releases - Eclipse 6.0.0 will be available June 27, 2012 with the Eclipse Juno (4.2) Simultaneous release.
Test Setup
The following steps should be carried out prior to testing PTP. Refer to the release notes for the appropriate PTP version if necessary.
- Make sure you have Java 1.5 or later
- Start with a fresh Eclipse installation
- Use a new workspace for testing (or remove old testing workspaces)
- Download and install the "Eclipse IDE for Parallel Application Developers" package
- from http://eclipse.org/downloads Select "Developer Builds" at the top to get pre-release downloads.
- Depending on your test plan requirements, install PTP server components using instructions from the 6.0 release notes.
- Launch Eclipse on the test machine.
- If you require an MPI program for testing, use the following code:
#include <stdio.h> #include <mpi.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int i, rank; MPI_Init(&argc, &argv); MPI_Comm_rank(MPI_COMM_WORLD, &rank); for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) { printf("hello from %d loop %d\n", rank, i); sleep(1); } MPI_Finalize(); return 0; }
Test Iterations
The following table shows the test iterations for the RC builds. PTP is +2 which means that its build is completed on the +2 day. Testing can begin using the Juno aggregation site (http://download.eclipse.org/releases/staging) on +3 and later. The EPP build is generally available at the end of the +3 day, but official EPP testing can begin on the EPP day once the packages have been announced.
RC4 testing is still useful as any bugs can still be fixed in future bug fix releases or service releases (SR1, SR2). However, these fixes will not be included in the Juno release.

Test Matrix
The following test matrix shows who will be testing each component on the different supported architectures. Note that because PTP is client/server, you should list both the client and server architectures for each component being tested. For example, if you are testing PE on a Mac OS X x86 client and an AIX backend, you should list both these architectures.
When you find bugs, please open a bug report against the relevant component.

* Only the GTK 2 version of Eclipse will be tested
** Only the Cocoa version of Eclipse will be tested
*** AIX testing is for the server side only.
α Limited testing only
(client) indicates that eclipse runs here
(server) indicates remote target runs here
(R) will test remote usage
(L) will test local usage
## old (not updated to PTP 6.0 testing) - remove ## if you update this and/or confirm you are still testing this
Test Outlines
Initial overview of some features to be tested:
- Install & Update: install parallel package, try update scenarios from & to different RCs/releases, make sure feature names, versions, providers, ids, etc are correctly set in installation information for each of the features (Beth)
- Help: bring up help, make sure the pieces are all there, make sure topics are up to date, any version numbers referenced are correct, make sure links work between help docs (Beth)
