		<h1>Maintenance Release Test Plan</h1>
		<hr />
		
		<h3>Goal</h3>
		<p>The goal of this test pass is to achieve full coverage of the SDK to get a good overall picture on the state of the build.</p>
		
		<h3>Checklist</h3>
		<p>Please see the <a href="componentAreaTesting.html">full test plan</a> first.</p>
		<p>Here is a checklist of some of the late changing things to verify during the test pass.  Every tester should try to verify all of the items in this list.</p>
		
		<ul>
		<li>Verify the <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?product=Platform&component=UI&target_milestone=3.0.1&order=Importance">bugs fixed for 3.0.1</a>.</li>
		<li>Storing and restoring the state of views and editors.  In particular, we want to make sure that the full functionality of a part is available when it is restored (as opposed to when it is created after starting).</li>
		<li>Play with the capabilities preference page; make sure it works as expected.</li>
		<li>Try the cut, copy, paste, and select all key bindings in various places.</li>
		<li>Verify that the ESC and DEL keys work when and where they are expected to work.</li>
		<li>Try to change encodings, and verify that changing the encoding triggers a build.  This is particularly important with regards to different locales.</li>
		<li>Play around with colours, fonts, and themes; make it sure it all works as expected.</li>
		<li>Make sure that builds happen when you expect them too.</li>
		<li>Watch for general performance problems.</li>
		</ul>
