The example plugin used in EclipseCon has support for the Memory View and
Registers View.
My concern with using PDA or the example in testing is that these plugins
lack the complexity of a regular debug adapter. In some cases, while the
views work well with the sample, they can get into trouble when they are
run against "real" debuggers. This is especially true for threading
problems. During test pass, I typically test these views with our own
debuggers, keeping in mind that I am testing the views and not our
debuggers.
If a problem is in the viewers / platform code, in most cases, they can be
reproduced with the Java debugger, once we understand what the problem is.

Hi Pawel,
Thanks. It's great to know! :)
I have updated the test plan with some details for non-Java testing.
Please take a look and let us know what you think.

It's a good start :-) Testing with non-java platforms is a bit nebulous
at the moment since it'll be good to know the exact configuration in
order to reproduce any problems. Maybe in future test cycles we can add
the exact configuration we're testing with.
One problem I have with testing with CDT or DSF is that I'm doing more
testing of those components rather than the platform features. One way
to get around this is to implement those features in a dedicated test
debugger integration, such as PDA... though that could get pretty
expensive.
Cheers,
Pawel

The testing for M6 caught me a bit by surprise and I have bunch of other
commitments I need to take care of today and this week, so I only
volunteered to do test the Modules view only at this time. But I would
like to contribute to the testing effort more broadly in the future.
I think the best value I can bring to the testing is by using non-java
debuggers (CDT and/or DSF) though it might be tricky to craft the tests
so
that they concentrate on the debug platform features and components. I
look forward to contributing to the test plans as well as the tests.
Cheers,
Pawel

Hi Pawel,
Thanks for helping out. We are using the I20080325-0100 build for
testing.
It is not p2 enabled, but it is sufficient for the debug test pass.
We
test today, identify/fix critical bugs Wednesday/Thursday, and
validate
fixes Thursday/Friday.

Re: [platform-debug-dev] 3.4 M6 Testing
I would like to help with testing starting with at least the
modules
view. I would use CDT-GDB to populate the view, though I'm not
sure
how
I could document that in the test plan.
BTW, when is the M6 candidate build going to be available for
testing?
Cheers,
Pawel
