| [dsdp-tm-dev] RE: RSE 1.0 RC1 testing - Test start moved one day |
Hello RSE Testers - first of all, welcome to 3 new testers - Ali Kulakli, Yu-Fen Kuo and George A. Papayiannis thanks for joining! Doug Gaff and Martin Gutschelhofer might also join (tentative, if their time permits). If there are any questions, feel free to ask by E-mail the tester group or the dsdp-tm-dev mailing list. As Uwe has already mentioned, we are delaying the official test start by 1 day in order to sanity test RSE 1.0RC1, and do some bookkeeping to make sure we get really good test coverage. While we are waiting for the official test to start, I have two requests. PLEASE do this today in order to facilitate good coverage for our coordinated testing. 1.) Please Review your test assignment Go to http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/RSE_1.0_Testing_round_2 Edit the Wiki page to select YOUR features to test. Then, put your "ok" in the first column. THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT: While the 1st round of testing was more for sanity checking obvious issues, this 2nd round of testing should try to cover every nits and bits of RSE, including functions less frequently used. We'll be able to do this only if we join forces, and each of us tests different features. DONT BE AFRAID OF EDITING THE WIKI. The 1st round of testing showed that almost nobody was comfortable editing the Wiki. You cannot destroy anything, since everything is version controlled! But the Wiki is a great collaboration platform. PLEASE DO edit the Wiki, and DO make use of the "watch" tab to get notified of any changes. NEW features particularly important to test: * FTP connection type * Remote systems AIX, HP-UX, VMS, MVS, VxWorks (FTP mostly) * File Encodings (foreign languages) * Walk through all preferences, widgets, views and dialogs Features less important since they got good coverage already: * CDT Remote launch (no change since round 1) * Verify legal, copyright (we know they are not yet quite what they should) * Drag&Drop, Copy&Paste (known issues detected in round 1 already) 2.) Please update your bug reporting template When you joined the first round of testing, you'll already have your bugzilla bug entry template. Please use it and change "testing round 1" into "testing round 2", then remember as bookmarkable template again. New testers, please follow the instructions on http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/RSE_1.0_Test_Instructions to create YOUR personalized bugzilla bug entry template. There is a link for a template from us on the page mentioned. This was meant to be edited by you, to match YOUR local and remote system used. Then, please "Mark as Template" in bugzilla again and you'll have YOUR customized bug entry template. Thanks again to everybody joining this effort. Together we'll work on great quality! Thanks, Martin Stieber, Uwe schrieb: Hi all, Martin Oberhuber asked me to pass this message to all assigned testers of RSE 1.0 RC1: The official start of RC 1.0 RC1 testing is delayed one day till tomorrow, 10th oct. 2006. The reason for the delay are problems we've had with RSE 1.0 RC1 build from Friday. The build has been fixed but not sanity tested at all. Martin can access his computer only occasionally as he is on vacation. Testers: This round of testing should be focused on feature completeness and robustness. Martin created a new TWiki page (http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/RSE_1.0_Testing_round_2) for this round of testing. Please check the assigned systems and features. PS: I've updated my local test installation to RSE 1.0 RC1, Eclipse 3.2.1, CDT 3.1.1 and run a very basic sanity test (remote connection to linux, ssh for files and shell, dstore (daemon) for processes). The test run through, I haven't seen any quick obvious problem. On behalf of Martin Oberhuber.
