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: Defects and reduced community support (e.g. news group and mailing list posts).
  • 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).
    • Manual Test (test type, runner, and Manual Test View) (see bug 207777).
    • BIRT Reports (test, log, and trace BIRT report generators) (see bug 12345).
    • RCP Log Analyzer and Symptom Catalog Editor (see bug 12345).
  • The following Technology Preview components will move to As-is:
    • Automated GUI Recording (AGR) (recorder, test type, and runner) (see bug 12345).
  • The following deprecated Technology Preview components will be retired (see bug 12345):
    • Code Coverage
    • Memory Manager
    • X-Ray Profiler

Notes

  • As-is components will be built and packaged.
  • 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 provided for existing users with no support (for example, defects, news group, and 
   mailing lists).  Any defects must be accompanied with fully implemented and tested patches.
