Re: [epp-dev] Testing of the different packages

[Markus Knauer <mknauer23@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Sandeep,

I would describe the testing performed on the packages as 'smoke testing'. It is up to the package maintainers to decide what they are testing and how (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/EPP/Package_Testing).

There is a bug open (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=347651) that proposes to use the Eclipse Jubula project for testing the packages on a higher level. I really hope that we can push this forward for next year's Juno release.

Regards,
Markus

Hello,

I am a Ph. D. research student. I have been using information from the different packages of Eclipse as my case study. I had some questions about the test cases for the different packages (or the different projects that make the package). I would appreciate any help with these questions.

I have been a part of the epp-dev forum and see that after the periodic release of packages, different packages are tested and the team leaders say that the testing was successful.. (e.g. +1 for Java, +1 for JavaEE, etc.). I wanted to know what are the different package leaders testing, is it the projects relevant to those packages only or is there some integration/smoke/regression tests that is used for testing.

When the different packages are released, my guess would be that there would be some integration tests which are performed to see if everything is working well together. Is this the case?

 I would be very grateful for any answers to these questions.

Thanks,
Sandeep Krishnan
