I apologize for the previous email.
 The indenting did not come up right.  I hope it is better this
time.

Hi all, 

Scalability testing is completed for now.  Results were as expected
in most part.   If time permits in CDT version 1.2,  more Scalability
testing will be done in the Search, Code Assist and Managed build area.
  

The purpose of Scalability testing is to determine if CDT can handle large
amounts of data in general in many areas like code, files, projects, directories.
  Since the CDT is targeted to be executed on many platforms such
as Solaris and Linux dominated by telcos,  it is easy to say that
the CDT must handle existing large projects in order for project teams
to migrate to the Eclipse/CDT IDE.

Quality Status:   YELLOW

What has been tested for Scalability?
        Importing Large Projects
        
       Many files (1000) in one directory
                Rose
Real Time Project (large project with many directories (30) and many files
(~5000))
         
      20
Projects in one workspace
        File/Project
Management
                Opening
large number of files/projects/directories
         
      Closing large number of files/projects/directories
         
      Deleting large number files
         
      Opening/Closing/Editing a large file (16000
lines)

What’s yet to be tested for Scalability?
        Search 
        Code Assist 
        Managed Build 

Results: 
        Importing Existing Projects worked
with no problems for all platforms 
        Problems with File/Project Management:
        
       Close All on 100 open files locks CDT/Eclipse
in Solaris (40867) 
        
       Opening 1000 files into view crashes
CDT/Eclipse in all 3 platforms (41011) 
        
       Close All, Open All, Close All 20 projects
locks CDT/Eclipse in Windows (41021) 
        
       Noticing that Eclipse in Linux is slow
compared to Solaris and Windows 

Top Pain Points 
        CDT is not error handling large scale
in terms of number of projects and files 
        Not user interaction when a “scalability”
error occurs 

Best regards, 

Mathieu
