Any objections to summary from last week?

• No.

4.4.1 discussion

Oliver notes that we need to finish within about a week and that test reports still seem not so complete. Only a few percent of tests are listed as passing in report.

Test

• Halfway thru 2nd test pass.
• Target completion by eod of day tommorrow
  • BIRT defect
  • Copyright dates need updating (see below)
• Paul seeing a connection refused error connecting from windows to linux system.

Monitoring

• AlexN needs to go back to list of tests for 2nd test pass and make sure it is correct.
  • Team has already has run remote logging [linux] and verified problem was fixed
  • Windows IA32 also run.
  • Will be running smoke test on remaining components
  • Will be runing linux perfmon (pfmon?) tests as well.
• When Oliver looks at test pass report now is at about 6%. He asks if remaining 94% be done this week.
  • AlexN states they will run some this week
  • AlexN states they will only do a smoke test for remaining bits
    • AI AlexN to update test report to reflect planned tests
  • As they smoke test, they will be stressing components that impact with agent controller

Platform

• Team is fairly well into 4.5 I5 testing and only has residual 4.4.1 tests remaining
  • 4.4.1 testing will run profiling and AC tests (automated)
  • AI: Joanna needs to update test pass 2 report for 4.4.1 to ensure that it reflects this reduced list
• Believes team is in good shape for the end of the week
• One defect unsure if we intended to fix: IPF termination
  • JVMTI terminates on linux IPF when profiling is enabled.
  • Jonathan and AlexA have been looking at it
  • Igor to look at it as well.
    • If we want it in need it in tommorrow to let us do test before deadline
• One release notes item.
  • Joanna mentions that it just needs checkin. She will request PMC approval later today.

Trace

• Team is making smoke tests now
  • Matt covering for Richard who was out last week
  • Have already done everything that was intended to be done
• No issues have shown up in Trace testing.

Of Copyrights

Joanna thought there was a mail thread asking if sufficient stuff had been done by Kendrick

• Paul states not quite enough done yet
• We may need to do some manual checking to verify all required updates are done
  • Joanna states that Joel and Kendrick working together on it.

Paul thought that Joanna had opened defect in early Jan to fix up copyrights.

• Joanna had cleaned up her area but there may still be 1-2 files that are bogus
  • Still may need to check a few patches to ensure they have appropriate copyright notices
  • The report (for copyright checks) definately needs fixing.

Chris asked what the implications are if some are missed. Oliver discusses what he is aware of WRT copyright policies (not that any of us are lawyers)...

• 5% of file should have changed to change the date.
• Oliver notes that US law now allows implicit copyright without header.
  • May want to check (eventually) with Eclipse legal regarding whether they will be changing their policies.
• In any event general believe is that this defect is probably a pretty low risk.

Finishing 4.4.1

Oliver states that he would prioritize 4.4.1 over 4.5 at this point (general statement about value of "release" software).

Any last comments that would delay 4.4.1?

• No

4.5 discussion

Want to finish up last bits of testing to get to about 100%

Joanna met with team lsat Thu to prioritize areas that had some mods There are still some broken probekit tests

• Is prioritizing 4.4.1 finish over getting these 4.5 tests fixed.

Does anyone need anything from Oliver to finish up I5.

AlexA has asked Joe about 1 critical blocker

• Has not gotten feedback
  • JVMTI support in trace.

If send the number to Joanna she can follow up

• 212009 jptoomey@us.ibm.com Upgrade ARM agent to the new AC execution framework

Anything else for 4.4.1 or 4.5?

• No

Dave williams supposed to have call (WTP)

• Did not happen yet. No huge rush

Lots of part time people on project

• varying levels of productivity
• Consider assigning tests to part time resources. Easy to predict time to spend to complete tests. Easy to track contribution.

• Comments
  • AlexN notes that he has all part time people (but at 50%) needs them for defect work.
  • Oliver will provide some info about reasonable metrics

BVTs and test automation

• exceed needs to be running. can't be in screen saver mode (will be fixed in 4.5)
  • Reports are up on web site for each build in build reports link for the build
  • will be using AG meeting to discuss details with leads.

POG update

• closed some issues reported by Harm
  • Found new set of issues that will be examined in next iteration
  • Have found an issue in thread profiler
• Current status: became more stable. allows good attach/detach (even w/ IBM jvm)
• fixed issues w/ some incorrect results visualization.
  • No significant new negative feedback. probably ready for another user scenario.
  • There are some suggestions from Harm to improve usabilty a bit
    • Some we can do some defer.
  • have talked to Chris. Will talk to Harmony team about commiting to being lead user

Oliver states that If harm happy then he is happy

netbeans document will hopefully be done next week.

• no problem from Mike Milenkovich. appropriate for smaller company to do the comparison.
• OCS a member of TPTP will do it. has offered to do quick briefing for the board.
  • will need to decide whether to stress and improve areas where we are better or if we need to fill in where we are weaker.

Oliver has asked organization for meeting

• Need room for meeting

BOF is wednesday at 8:45p

Joanna and AlexN will not be at EclipseCon

• We will want to get a phone line open so they can dial in.

I6 weekly schedule not yet done. folks have been busy on 4.4.1 and I5 finishup

• Any problems getting update to triage/weekly schedule by next week?
