Can
you please confirm the Linux & Java versions from the CA end?
Thanks,

Hi Don,
Yes, that's
what I was getting at: standardization. For our team here I've suggested that
we'll want to choose something to align with the Eclipse June 2008 release.
Many of the Eclipse projects are aligning with that June goal and it would be
ideal if COSMOS v1.0 would be tested on at least one of those supported OS/JRE
combinations.
Here's a link
to what Eclipse 3.4 will support:
http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/eclipse_project_plan_3_4.html#TargetOperatingEnvironments
From the
Eclipse 3.4 plan, I chose Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0 with IBM Java5 SR5 when
I requested the Linux machine for development.
For Windows I'd
vote for Windows XP with IBM Java5 SR5 because I think that more of us have
access to Windows XP rather than Vista.
Thanks,
Ruth.

It
is traditional for our commercial products to support the current versions of
Red Hat and SuSE enterprise editions and one or more back level versions.
That isn't relevant to the project test requirements beyond a general
requirement for us to test our Linux support on a convenient freely-available
Linux platform and a willingness to accept patches if the testing of our
commercial products reveals an unexpected bug.
I
think that it would be best for us to discuss this on one of the architecture
calls, but my suggestion is for us to standardize on what we have conveniently
available. What is running on the machines are we using now in our
development and testing?

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

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.

RE: COSMOS i9 QA - platform 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 Mohsin

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.
