Re: [epp-dev] Testing of the different packages

I was very impressed when I saw this working in action at EclipseCon Europe. I believe this will be a great step forward to improve the QA process in EPP and it'd be great to get this up and running soon. As far as I understood there are still some infrastructure issues that need to be resolved before we can run this on the Eclipse.org Hudson. 

Felix, do you have a list of items that are outstanding in order to integrate this into the build process?

Thanks,

Steffen

Hi David, Andrew & all the others package maintainers,

I already have created an example to show how dull testing can be executed automatically using Jubula(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=347651).

Imho it has the following advantages:
- You don´t have to do the tests for every release and every target again
- You instantly get report after the build process (getting +/-1 automatically)
- You can track executed tests for every release candidate
- You don´t have to reinvent the wheel again (because you can reuse some common eclipse workflows and use cases)
- You can use a very nice tool ;-)

I created some very simple tests looking for availability of views, perspectives, documentation and testing a HelloWorld class.
The tests can be used for Eclipse for Testers and Eclipse for RCP and RAP Developers but other packages can be involved easily.

I also write a short blog entry about testing the EPP(http://www.bredex.de/web/index.php/blog_article_de/items/your-packaging-project-needs-you.html).
If you are interested in getting involved let´s talk about the possibilties to make it available for you in the building process for Juno.

Regards,
Felix

FYI ... I added this Linux Tools testing link to

http://wiki.eclipse.org/EPP/Package_Testing

just for improved cross-referencing. (And, I think it is very good, Andrew ... sets a good example for us all :).

I suspect some other packages could add a little something or links to the EPP Testing page?
No concrete reason to ... just helps show how it is tested.

I also removed the PHP Package from the test page, since it no longer is a package.

For the Linux C/C++ package we have a set of smoke tests:

 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Linux_Tools_Project/EPP_Testing

These are probably a bit too verbose and I'd like to see more of them
automated but it's what we use so I thought you'd like to know :)

HTH,

Andrew
