COSMOS QA Activities for i9

This has been put together to address Bugzilla ER 216529.

Terminologies/Acronyms

The terminologies/acronyms below are commonly used throughout this document. The list below defines each term regarding how it is used in this document.

Term Definition
Quality Expectations Is a statement of some behaviour, characteristic or operational facility that a product must exhibit for it to be deemed ‘fit for purpose’. Quality expectations are normally grouped into four main categories: functional/behavioural, operational efficiency, inter operability factors; and admin/management factors (to control TCO).
Acceptance Criteria This is a quantification of how a quality expectation is to be validated. For functional/behavioural quality expectations this is a simple Boolean test – it either works or it doesn’t. Hence, for most scope docs there is no need to specifically define functional acceptance criteria. However, other types of quality expectations – especially performance related areas – do require specific acceptance criteria because the quantification is normally some form of numeric threshold (with optional margin/tolerance) that states minimum levels of acceptable operational efficiency.

Scope Definition

The COSMOS quality expectations and the matching acceptance criteria, that would serve as a preamble to the COSMOS QA team while executing their work, were completed via ER 214576.

Since i9 is the first iteration to utilize the QA Expectations, we need to define the i9 QA activities upfront. This will enable us to translate the QA Expectations into an actionable series of steps that ensure QA coverage for i9. This will also serve as the QA plan for i9. Depending on how we execute the QA cycle this time around, we may append to the COSMOS Development Process.

In scope platforms, OS's & configurations

Because i9 is a compressed iteration, Windows will remain the primary OS, with a "smoke test" on Linux. i9 QA will cover the following configurations:

  1. One Management Domain and Broker running on one machine
  2. TBD MDRs running on TBD machines
  3. TBD Data Manager(s) running on TBD machines

In scope and out of scope QA activities at the ER and iteration level

For i9, QA will complete (and ***not*** complete) the following activities:

  1. QA will not be doing build-related tasks. They will commence the i9 test phase on Februaury 25 with the following pre-requisites
    1. Since ER 215135 "JUnits Establish a process for running JUnits against a COSMOS build" will ***not*** be completed in i9, Development will run the JUnits against the weekly integration builds.
    2. The sub-team leads need to ensure that this stop gap activity happens in i9 until 215135 is completed sometime in i10.
    3. To reiterate, QA will commence the i9 testing phase with the KEY assumption that multiple weekly build have occurred, and ALL JUnits have been run against these weekly builds
  2. QA will verify that the JUnits or alternate testing mechasnisms are in place for each of the i9 ERs listed above
    1. QA will ***not*** run the Junits; they will simply verify that the JUnits have been run and this is documented in Bugzilla
    2. If any ER is missing the JUnits, QA will immediately punt the ER back to Development
  3. QA will run the end to end test as specified on http://wiki.eclipse.org/COSMOS_i9_e2e_testing
  4. QA will identify the platforms and configurations via Test Cases they will document below.

ISSUES:

  1. The weekly integration build will NOT be run on ALL platforms. They will run only on Windows. How do we address the lack of ongoing testing on additional platforms, i.e. Linux in i9?

Iteration QA Entrance and Exit Criteria

The following items need to be in place before the 2 week i9 QA phase can commence:

  1. A stable i9 build that has undergone multiple integration build during the course of the Development phase which ends on February 22, 2008
  2. http://wiki.eclipse.org/COSMOS_i9_e2e_testing is complete

The following items need to be in place before the 2 week i9 QA phase can be declared complete:

  1. All ERs should have JUnits in place. If JUnits are not applicable to a given ER, alternative verification means need to be specified. To reiterate, QA are not expected to run the JUnits. In i9, this activity will be completed as part of the weekly iteration builds
  2. The e2e tests for i9 (http://wiki.eclipse.org/COSMOS_i9_e2e_testing) are run against the final i9 build

i9 Test Cases

Should these be documented here? If not, where should they live?

Resources & timeframe

i9 QA will be completed by two dedicated CA resources. The i9 QA phase will run from February 25 thru March 7.

TBD

Task Breakdown

This section includes the tasks required to complete this enhancement.

  1. Jimmy Mohsin has generated this page to address bugzilla 216529
  2. The COSMOS team needs to identify the relevant section for this page.
  3. Shivvy, representing the QA team, is supposed to complete this activity by Februrary 22, 2008. This is prior to the commencement of the QA phase for i9.

Open Issues/Questions

All reviewer feedback should go in the Talk page for 216529.
