Mylar 0.3.12 is available. The most notable new
feature is the dynamic test suite creation based on the task context (see
below). As you work, you can now continually test the parts of the system
affected by your changes by repeatedly running a “Mylar Context
Test” configuration. Also new is the start of refactoring
awareness—Java member refactorings (e.g. rename method) will now preserve
the interest level for the new member, and the upcoming releases will be aware
of additional refactorings. The next release will be Mylar 0.4, which
will no longer require participation in the user study. In order to
provide enough time for update site changes and documentation the 0.4 release
is scheduled for next Friday.
Acknowledgements
Thanks to Eugene for a good UI idea on how to limit the
Active Search view from being overpopulated:
Bug 112020
limit number of visible items in active search view
Also note that there has been an interesting discussion on
collaborating with task contexts:
Bug 111218
[discussion] sharing and awareness of task context
New & Noteworthy
|
JUnit testing of
task context
|
To automatically test every element in
your task context add one of the two Mylar JUnit launch configurations
visible below. This has the effect of automatically creating a suite
with every interesting test in your context (those that you've selected and
edited), as well as every test that has a predicted interest (those whose
test methods show up in the Active Search view).
|
|
Linked mode for
Active Search
|
The Active Search view now has a
"Link with Editor" button.
|
|
Predicted
interest of errors
|
The predicted interest of errors can
be turned and off in the Java preferences. When on, Java elements
that have errors get a predicted interest, which means that they show up in
views such as a the package explorer. Once the errors are fixed the
predicted interest goes away. Set this on the Java preference
page. Off by default.
