Deliverables

• Testing Process:
  • Alan integrated the review comments and Paul posted the second draft of the Testing Process (part 1) document for review.
    • Allan will integrate review comments for the second draft of the Testing Process (part 1) document by Monday, December 3.
  • Alan will add more detailed content to the first draft of the Testing Process (part 2) by Wednesday, November 28.
  • Please review the latest drafts for both Testing Process documents for Monday, December 3.

• Common Test Infrastructure:
  • Completed:
    • CVS check-out of all of the test plug-ins in the /test-results/<project>/* modules.
    • Configure and run the Agent Controller on the reference platform.
    • Paul created the root-level test suites for BVTs. The test infrastructure will execute the org.eclipse.hyades.tests/AllBVT<test type>Tests.testsuite test suites. We do not need to check-in the execution results to CVS due to disk space limitations and polluting of our test pass results. Each developer can rerun the automated tests to reproduce a failure.
    • Paul created the BVT deployment to the reference platform.
    • Automatically generating the Test Report based on the existing test execution results in CVS.
    • Paul modified the BIRT tabular test report to walk an execution result to generate a detailed test report from a root-level execution result.
  • Outstanding:
    • Check for Intel build to complete (every x hours) before launching the BVTs.
    • Automatically posting the Test Report to /tptp/test/reports/<release>.
    • Cleanup of the reference platform.
    • Documenting the test infrastructure for use in the second testing process document, which will be required by TPTP adopters or extenders.
    • Email notifications to component leads for failing test suites.
  • Blocking Issues:

1. When generating reports, the report has no entries: Paul and Sheldon are investigating.
2. Defect 208616: Fixed and verified by Kendric/Joel.
3. Defect 200194: Targeted to i5.
4. Defect 190453: Targeted to i6.
5. Defect 210289: Targeted to i6.
6. Defect 210292: Targeted to i6.
7. Defect 210955: DTP has resolved the issue, available in the December 1st build. Paul has request a patch.

• Metrics:
  • The monitoring project lead has replied to a request to estimate the current testing costs.
    • Joanna and Guru are gathering their estimates.

Action Items

• All:
  • Review the latest drafts for both Testing Process documents for Monday, December 3.

• Alan:
  • Integrate review comments for the second draft of the Testing Process (part 1) document by Monday, December 3.
  • Add more detailed content to the first draft of the Testing Process (part 2) by Monday, December 3.

• Joel:
  • Outstanding issues for the PoC (integrate the ASF with the TPTP builds to check-out a 'Hello World' TPTP JUnit test suite from CVS, run the test suite on an Eclipse instance running on the target platform, and generate a BIRT report on the test execution using existing sample code).

• Paul:
  • Determine labor cost (PW) for a) full test pass and b) smoke test pass from project leads.
  • Encourage Project Leads to automate existing manual test suites.

Upcoming Meeting

• We will meet next on Monday, December 3 (9 AM ET).

Upcoming Discussion

• Test framework reuse:
  • See defect 171827.
  • Existing test frameworks include:
    • Test Server for the Agent Controller/Profiler
    • Test Server for the JVMTI Profiler.
  • Proposed test frameworks include:
    • Test Dashboard (see enhancement 112928 and Test Dashboard Plug-in).
    • Test automation service (see defect 87285)
