| [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
