Re: [hyades-dev] TPTP UI meeting notes (Dec.1, 2004)


Following up on action item from last Hyades UI meeting.
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



Here is the first pass at identifying the test related features that appeared to have UI impact of some sort based off the current committed feature list.   I've intentionally not included features related to trace areas since I'm not as familiar with some of that work.  Some of these appear to be good candidates for discussion at a high level due to the breadth of the impact.  Next UI meeting maybe we can identify the ones that deserve more discussion and begin working thru the issues involved in later meetings.

[hyades-dev] TPTP UI meeting notes (Dec.1, 2004)






Meeting notes from this week's TPTP UI meeting:


Time
:


Wednesday, Dec. 1, 12:00pm (noon) EST.


Agenda
:


Discuss Bug/enhancement 74962 on the Test Navigator :

1. Using logical names in the test nav
2. Logical organization of test artifacts in the test navigator


Attendees
:

Curtis d'Entremont

David Hodges

Eugene Chan

Jerome Gout

Joe Toomey
Patrick Nedelec

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
