[cdt-test-dev] Re: CDT3.0 testing coordination meeting

[Mathieu Lapensee <lapensee@xxxxxxxxxx>]

James,

Some news...

Brent, Tanya and myself have other higher
prioritized mandates at IBM.   We will not be able to participate
in the testing activities for CDT 3.0. 

The testing I did this week was my last
and it was adhoc, mainly targeted at the indexer, content assist and search.
 I was not following the sanity test plan.

As for all the listed items (1 to 4),
 we won't be able to participate.

As for my commitment for scalability
& performance testing, it is now postponed indefinitely.

So, a meeting between us will not make
sense considering the circumstances.

The CDT testing at IBM will done by
Dave Daoust's team of developers.

If you have any questions or concerns,
Dave will be the best person to answer them.

Regards,

Mathieu
IBM Rational

Subject	CDT3.0  testing coordination meeting

Hello Mathieu and Brent,

After 2 milestone testing, I realize that I have a urge to sync up with
you
folks on the following items:

1. Sanity test plan:
We need to update the sanity test plan to reflect the latest changes in
CDT
3.0. Some new features in M5 and M6 should be picked into test plan.  I
also
have some existing test cases want to go though with you guys since I am
not
quite clear about them.


2. The sample projects we used in test: 
The cdt version need to be updated; Meanwhile, I would like to find out
if
you guys having some new sample projects that we can use for next testing.


3. Let's talk about automating the test plan:
I noticed when you (Mathieu) run the sanity test, you finished very quick.
Are you using any automation tools? It's too much work and taking too long
to finish the whole test plan manually every time. I am thinking to use
WinRunner to automate some highly repeatable test cases. Meanwhile Alain
is
looking into Abbot since it's open source. 


4. Participation of M7 and RC testing in the future
I just want to chat about things like how we going to proceed, test efforts
sharing....


Alain, anything else?

So I propose a face-to-face meeting at your earliest convenience. We can
go
over your place or you guys are welcome come over here.


How do you guys think?


Thanks,
James
