| [epp-dev] Testautomation for EPP |
Hi EPP Team,I work as Test Consultant for BREDEX. We maintain the functional testing tool Eclipse Jubula (http://www.eclipse.org/jubula). Jubula is part of the Indigo release.
We'd like to support the EPP team by writing automated smoke tests with Jubula. We talked to Markus about this topic and came to the conclusion that this would be helpful to the package maintainers.
The idea is to provide basic testing for all packages and more specific tests for packages we are familiar with or which provides us with some sort of test specification (which means you just tell us what your are doing now to test your EPP package). Smoke test will be
* Installation tests (unzipping/untarring) * file permission tests * basic functions: welcome screen, online help, project creation/deletion * rough check if all features are installed * Installation of additional features and Software Update * whatever is needed by a particular EPP package (you tell us).Of course you are free to specify your own tests with Jubula. We would be glad to help you getting up to speed.
For the time being we would run the smoke tests on our internal test infrastructure and publish the result on the Eclipse web site.
After Indigo we would try to move the tests to test instances provided by the foundation on their servers.
We plan to work on this with 2 people, but not full time. We have a budget for .5 persons :-) until end of 2012. If this work will be successful I'm sure we will continue working on it.
We have some tests ready. If there are no -1 on our proposal we will create a Bugzilla entry and contribute this initial tests.
