[platform-releng-dev] Re: Backporting performance tests

[Sonia Dimitrov <Sonia_Dimitrov@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Some questions/comments received so
far on this topic:

"Is it a requirement to backport
tests to 2.1.3?  Some tests cannot be backported to 2.1.3 without
changing underlying production code or API has changed" 
-tests should be backported as far back
as possible depending on API availability.  API cannot be backported
to support tests (as this requires an Eclipse SDK rebuild)
-To clarify, only JUnit test plugins
will be rebuilt on Fridays.  For example, the eclipse 2.1.3 SDK to
test will be taken from the download servers.

"Is Nov. 12 a hard deadline
to have tests for all streams backported?"
-For this Friday, Nov. 12, we would
ideally like tests from all components backported as far as possible.
-FYI:  eclipse 3.0 will be the
reference build used for assertions and the Fingerprint graphs.
-Teams have the opportunity to contribute
to performance baseline testing every Friday thereafter.

Please send any other questions or comments
on this topic to this list.

Subject	Backporting performance tests

In an effort to keep reference performance
data current and relevant, we will be building and running performance
tests on eclipse 2.1.3, 3.0 and 3.0.1 every Friday.  In order to do
this, we are asking contributors to backport their performance tests to
run in these previous eclipse versions by this Friday, Nov. 12.
 The tests will be rebuilt every Friday using map files from branches
perf_213, perf_30 and perf_301 of the org.eclipse.releng project.

To compile in your workspace, please
use these versions of the org.eclipse.test.performance plug-in,

v20041021_perf213
v20041021_perf30 
v20041021_perf301

for eclipse 2.1.3, 3.0 and 3.0.1 respectively.

Please remember to also add a "performance"
target to your test.xml script.

Once the tests are backported please
release to these branches of the org.eclipse.releng project,

perf_213
perf_30
perf_301

for eclipse 2.1.3, 3.0 and 3.0.1 respectively.

Please send questions or comments to
this list.
