Minutes

PoG

• Advocate/Lead:
  • One person leading the effort, probably Alexander A. for 4.5.
    • Oliver has a call with Chris' management to discuss the PoG.
  • Eugene would represent IBM to evaluate quality and review requirements.

• Target Audience:
  • Eclipse Projects.
  • Eclipse Community.
  • WTP/TPTP EPP packaging:
    • Joel will discuss the effort to package only the Trace components.
      • How much extra testing?
        • Weekly smoke testing for ~20 mins. is expected.
        • Posting weekly/iteration test results.
      • Installation footprint is an issue.
        • Consider only shipping the Trace components.
        • Come-back to WTP to also package Test (relatively small addition) and Trace.
      • Paul and Alex A. to discuss the support (type, hours, etc.) for ToG and PoG on Wednesday's PMC call.

• Use Cases:
  • Profile on Server:
    • Eugene is currently testing.
    • As of Friday, working using the WTP/TPTP EPP (JEE EPP).

• Existing defects:
  • JVM Issues:
    • VerifyError during profiling of project with AspectJ "set pointcut"
    • classes excluded from instrumentation in sake of profiler stability with IBM JVM 1.5 SR6
    • Provide functionality of IBM's JVM identification at profilers JVM TI agent
  • PoG Defects:
    • Alex A. to summarize the triage of PoG defects on Wednesday's PMC call.

• More information: TPTP User Experiences Profiling.

ToG

• Advocate/Lead:
  • One person leading the effort, probably Paul for 4.5.

• Target Audience:
  • Stage 1:
    • TPTP.
    • COSMOS.
  • Stage 2:
    • Eclipse Projects.
    • Eclipse Community.

• Scenarios/Use Cases:
  • Unit testing of local and remote Java/Eclipse applications using the JUnit/JUnit Plug-in test types.
  • Performance testing of local and remote Web applications using the URL Recorder and URL test type.
  • Data-driven unit testing using datapools.
  • Test execution results viewing using the Test Log view.
  • Test report generation using the TPTP-BIRT integration.
  • Automated test execution and report generation using the Automatable Service Framework (ASF).
  • Paul to identify the use cases (relative to JEE EPP and BVT) on the PMC call in two weeks.

• Existing defects (relative to BVT):
  • Platform Project:
    • Execution of any testsuite fails using the IAC - InactiveProcessException
  • Test Project:
    • AGR Tests require absolute path to Equinox JAR
    • Clear remote workspace launch does not work for remote test execution
    • AGR Tests cannot be run with start ACServer
    • Remove XMLUnit dependency and convert reporting tests to TPTP tests
    • Content missing in Tabular Report
    • Connection property does not deploy all dependencies
    • Connection property does not allow JUnit Plug-in Tests to be executed
    • ASF marshalling return value between service and client adapter does not have support for failures / exceptions
    • Confusing exceptions when running automated services.
    • ASF Test Execution Service races with AutoBuildJob -- can lead to unexpected test results
    • ANT test results property requires trailing slash to specify location
    • ANT importExistingProjects throws Exception
  • Paul to summarize the triage of ToG defects (relative to JEE EPP) on Wednesday's PMC call.

• More information: 4.5 Test Automation Initiative: Common Test Infrastructure.
