I8 discussion

Oliver notes that folks should be halfway thru test pass 1. Whats up?

Is everyone's test results up to date

• Paul for Test: yes
  • a number of suites not done relate to documentation and are less critical
  • Some outstanding manual tests to run in next few days.
  • 6% fail rate right now; some assorted test navigator issues that Jerome is working thru
  • Expects blocking/critical fixed by end of next week
• Joanna for Platform
  • There are some Platform/ui and probekit tests TODO
  • Joanna has been updating May 12 list of still targeted defects with "fix dates"
• AlexA for trace/profiler
  • Profiler smoke testing done
  • Trace run and results checked into CVS

Paul asks about a few sets of tests that seem to have gotten lost in the details

• Junit tests for common base event
• Event implementation tests, etc
• These are Usually run by AlexN and company but he is out.
  • Who should be running them?
  • Joanna notes that Rohit is AlexA's backup.
  • Rohit says that he is done with his test pass and checked stuff in but has only done BTM.
  • Paul IMed Rohit to get status of the tests in question
    • They have been run and results are being checked in.

What is after 4.5?

Paul noted that there are only a few weeks before we finish 4.5

• Will we have 4.5.0.1 or will we go with 4.5.1?
• Joanna notes there are a handful of defects for a consuming product
• Trying to accelerate into 4.5...
  • IBM team already moving on them
  • For an AC defect Stanislav has been pursuing it
  • If cannot get into 4.5
    • IBM may want to consider 4.5.0.1
    • Will be able to make decision better next week.

• 4.5.0.1 would potentially conflict with resource shuffling timeframe at Intel
  • Joanna is pursuing defects now

Joanna asked if Intel continue with AC builds

• Chris indicated that Intel will continue to build native part of stack

Oliver asks if test team running out of work to do with 4.5?

• Paul notes that team can keep busy between now and the next few weeks.

Oliver asks what is diff between 4.5.0.1 and 4.5.1. The two biggest areas discussed were

• Timeframe (4.5.0.1 would be accelerated)
• sync with TPTP (4.5.1 will probably align to Ganymede fall maintenance)

MISC

We discussed a bit on post 4.5 resourcing and planning Oliver asks if there is any more information from IBM

• Harm has a proposal in process is is trying to organize a meeting next week.
• He wants a cross IBM product team discussion

EclipseCon '09 planning is starting

• Scott is looking for a test/performance lead for track
• Paul has done it for a few years and will probably not do it next year
• There is an opportunity here for someone to jump in.

SAP heap analysis integration

• Oliver mentioned from talking to Andreas
  • SAP guys would maintain heap analysis components but not profiler components
• Eugene has gone thru the use cases for the analyzer
• AlexA has estimated ~3 person months of work (AlexA) for creating extension points
  • That time is unlikely to be available for 4.5.1
• The question came up whether IBM might be interested in adding those extension points (e.g., if they may want to consume from the static heap analysis feature)
• Question came up whether Andreas had talked to JDT guys as another possible home.
• Oliver will talk a bit to Andreas

Chris will be on vacation next Wednesday
