Hi Aleem

I think you may have posted this to
the wrong mailing list.  This mailing list is for people who provide
eclipse mirrors for downloads.

 Please post this message  to
the  eclipse.platform newsgroup

Subject	[eclipse-mirrors] Estimation of the testing efforts on Eclipse        plateform SDK based on package level functional testing

Hello:
 
I divide my query into more elaborative
way through which you can easily understand what I need to know.
 
Objective:
 
Based on available source code
and JUnit test code of Eclipse platform I want to evaluate the package
level functional testing in corresponding to the efforts done for the testability.
Also I want to find the reflection of the testing efforts in corresponding
to the package level Metrics. 
 
Research Problem:
 
Our methodology is to accomplish
the empirical study for the evaluation of a set of object-oriented package
level metrics in relation to predict the effort require for the testing
activities. These metrics which has the known effect on testing effort
inform us to determine the real factors which affect the testability of
the system. These results may come up to final set of refine metrics which
has significant effect on testability of the system. 
 
 
Questions:
 
We have opened every folder in
the Eclipse platform SDK and corresponding to the JUnit test folder of
the Eclipse platform. We try to find the efforts in the form of the corresponding
same packages for testing to be written in JUnit.
 
  a- We have seen the problem
that if we have selected any package   
       from
Eclipse testing folder i.e C:\Eclipse JUnit test\eclipse-testing\eclipse\plugins
 
       and
corresponding source folder C:\eclipse-SDK-3.2-win32-latest    
       release\eclipse\eclipse\plugins
we found that they are different in version number.  
       How
we identify JUnit test folder which is written for test the corresponding
source 
       folder.
In short how can we find the pair <source, test> in package or other
level?
 
  b- Which files is showing
the package level test information; through that we can 
      understand
the package level functional testing in Eclipse? 
 
  c- Is in the download option
in www.eclipse.org all source code and test code of Eclipse 
      available.
(Because I found no .java files after un jar the .jar files in some test
code or 
      source )
 
  d- There is any tutorial
available for information about how package level functional 
      testing was
done in Eclipse project.
 
 
I hope for the positive reply as
soon as possible.
 
Best regards,
 
Aleem Alvi
