Ruth,
Thanks, that covers the 
IBM side…  In regards to your other question, we will need an updated 
Dependency diagram for i10.  
 
Mark,
Should we start to think 
about a Dependency diagram for COSMOS 1.0?
 
Jack / 
Don,
Any thoughts from the CA 
& Compuware end in regards to Linux environment?
 
Thanks,
Jimmy

Re: [cosmos-dev] RE: COSMOS i9 QA - platform 
considerations
 
 
Hi Jimmy, 
I don't 
expect that each person will need a dual OS environment. Instead, my expectation 
is that one Linux machine can be shared by our internal development team. (Where 
"internal development team" is David Whiteman, Ali Mehregani, Hubert Leung, 
Sheldon Lee-Loy. ) I took the to-do this morning to get access to a Linux 
machine for those four developers. 
If QA finds a bug on 
Linux: 
1. First the 
developer attempts to recreate the bug on Windows. 
2. If the bug can be 
recreated on Windows then the developer fixes it on Windows and unit tests it on 
both Windows and Linux. 
3. If the bug cannot 
be recreated on Windows then the developer debugs and fixes it on Linux alone. 
  
Because we work with 
Java code it is my expectation that the majority of bugs found will be 
reproducible on Windows. Since those four people know that they'll be sharing a 
Linux machine, they will communicate with each other before accessing that 
machine to ensure that they don't damage each other's work on the machine. If 
this plan doesn't work in practice then we'll reassess the situation and adapt, 
but for now this is what I'm aiming for. 
BTW, not sure if 
anyone else has brought this up yet, yet another detail to hash out in i10: 
which version of Linux will we support? And Windows? And JDK? I believe that 
people may have seen the email that Saurabh sent out earlier stating that we are 
deferring the move of the builds to the eclipse server from i9 to i10 because we 
don't want to destabilize the iteration build. Part of that destabilization risk 
is that the JDK on the eclipse server is different than the version that's on 
the IBM servers. In i10 I'd like to find out if it's it correct to assume that 
everyone should be testing with the JDK version that's on the eclipse server. 
Thanks, 
Ruth.

        considerations  |   
        
       | 
Given that Linux is a 
must do platform for closing i9, is the hardware / software environment in place 
across the board to resolve Linux defects in both the Dev and QA space? 
  
I raise this 
question since in the call this morning, someone stated that if QA finds a bug 
on Linux, the Developer should ensure that the bug is addressed on BOTH Windows 
/ Linux.  If we end up doing this, this implies the need for dual OS 
environments for the Development AND QA teams…. 
  
Thanks, 
Jimmy

Thanks 
for the updates Domenica! 
  
I 
missed today’s community meeting as I had to attend some other meeting. However, 
I attended Architecture meeting. Focus was made mainly defects and ERs in 
it. 
  
Thanks,

Srinivas- 
  
As agreed at 
today's Cosmos Community meeting: 
  
  - Linux support is 
  mandatory for this iteration. 
  
 - QA will provide 
  daily report/findings on WIKI. 
  
 - QA will send 
  notification to Cosmos team when daily update is posted. 
  
 - If QA encounters 
  any showstoppers, they are to request an emergency meeting with 
  team.
