All,
I have made
the following updates to the Design page for this ER 216529 (http://wiki.eclipse.org/COSMOS_QA_i9_Activities).
Please review and provide your input by either replying to this dev list or by
updating the Talk page at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Talk:COSMOS_Design_216529
I did this in light
of TWO goals:
·
Follow-up on items from the i8 autopsy we conducted this
morning
·
Specifying in scope and out of scope items for the i9 QA
phase, and its linkages to the Development and RE processes
PLEASE provide
input, as we want to have a smoother i9 closure.
Thanks,
Jimmy Mohsin
P.S. David /
Ruth, I would be especially interested in your input.

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 February 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 mechanisms 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. In i10, this will be fully automated once ER 215135 is
completed.
2.
The e2e tests
for i9 (http://wiki.eclipse.org/COSMOS_i9_e2e_testing)
are run against the final i9 build
