Goals
- Consolidation of our testing process and infrastructure.
- Consolidation of custom test frameworks (Test Dashboard, AC/Profiler test server, variants).
- Reuse of Test Project framework (ASF, reporting, etc.) and tools (AGR, JUnit, etc.).
- Automatic test execution and report generation with every build (BVT).
- Integrate EMMA with the build and test process for generating code coverage reports for all manual and automated testing.
Benefits
- Specialization of testing skills (e.g. builds).
- Provide an infrastructure that makes it easy for committers to contribute automated test cases/suites.
- Manual labor savings by using automated tests, which are automatically executed with every build.
- Decrease time/cost to resolve defects since uncovered earlier in the code-test-build cycle.
- Decrease testing overlap by a) localizing test executing and reporting to one group and b) using code coverage statistics.
Delivery dates
- November 14:
- First draft of the first testing process document for review.
- Proof of concept (PoC) for integration of ASF and TPTP builds for PMC approval and integrate with TPTP builds.
- Status update for the PMC.
- Measure cost savings.
- November 21:
- Review of the first testing process document.
- First draft of the remaining testing process documents for review
- Identify and resolve bugs.
- November 28:
- Final version of the the first testing process document.
- Review of the remaining testing process documents for review
- Status update including cost savings for the PMC.
- Presentation to TPTP committers.
- Each project automates their manual test suites and converge existing automated test suites over time to leverage the test infrastructure.
