in the test navigator

Attendees: 

Curtis d'Entremont 
David Hodges 
Eugene Chan

Valentina Popescu
Wayne Ho 

Notes: 

We discussed enhancement Bugzilla 74962 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=74962)
"Provide Logical representation of test artifacts in Test Navigator".
 This issue was also discussed during the November 30th Execution
Meeting.  

During the Execution Meeting, it was
agreed that Bugzilla 74962 should be re-targeted from 3.2i2 to 3.3 as
a) The requirement to use logical names
in the Test Navigator part of the feature was addressed in Bugzilla 71745
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=71745) "Resource names
shown in Test Navigator is not consistant"
b) The second part of the feature enhancement
had not been addressed: to provide logical organization of test artifacts
in the Test Navigator and that an appropriate design solution was required
and it was not possible to resolve this in time for 3.2i2.

This issue was raised during the UI
Meeting to ensure that the UI team agreed with the above and that the requirement
to use Logical Representation in the Test Navigator (introduced during
the Sept 15 UI Meeting) was properly being addressed.

Conclusions reached:
1. Agreed to request Bugzilla 74962
to be retargeted 3.3 and that the Logical organization of the Test Navigator
(i.e., ability to organize test artifacts by tests, results, etc.) needed
further design.
    To-do: Wayne to send a
request to Serge Lucio to retarget

2. It was agreed that Bug 71745 did
address the use of logical names in the Test Navigator, but it was determined
that there was still a need to simplify the UI around the wizards (i.e.,
no longer prompt users for both a file name and a (logical) name, rather
only prompt users for the (logical) name and under-the-covers create/map
a file name; it is still necessary to show users the mapping to the file
name in the wizard and potentially via a properties dialog for the test
artifact).  It was decided to keep 71745 closed and to clarify Bug
74962 to reflect point 2 as this work has a large impact on the wizards
and is not containable for 3.2i2 (as part of bug 71745).
   To-do: Wayne to update
Bugzilla 74962 to reflect point 2.

3.  David brought up a concern
about the difficulties seeing all UI feature/enhancements slated for 3.3
   To-do: David to compile
list of Test-related UI features for discussion in the next TPTP UI meeting

4. There was a discussion brought up
about TPTP project managment concerns.
  To-do: Valentina to follow up
with Harm 

5. There is a need to discuss Julien's
work on JUnit-based Tools Integration as the scope actually relates beyond
JUnit tools as it touches on Test Navigator integration, a common recording
facility, common recording feedback, etc.

Thanks,
Wayne
