Software Testing Life Cycle


@Dean Jay Mathew

  • Testing for the Palm release: Getting started, when/how/who

  • When are we cutting and releasing?

    • branch cut Apr 10

    • release early Jun

  • Dean will reach out next week to kick off the test plan

  • Friday WG meeting at the conference is for DevOps WG, not BTR

  • If the stars line up we will try to do an ad-hoc video call between the release testers at the conference, and Dean, and anyone else online

 

 

 

MFEs for Palm

@Peter Pinch

  • https://github.com/openedx/wg-build-test-release/issues/250

  • Looking through GH to see which MFE will be tagged (not necessarily included) for Palm.

    • (the bold ones are ones which we think replace existing features)

    • Learner Dashboard

      • course dashboard

    • Communications

      • bulk email??

      • site wide announcements??

      • (what is it?)

    • ORA Grading

      • grading inteface for open responnse problems

    • Learner Record

      • Credentials

    • Publisher

      • Interesting that it’s tagged

    • Support Tools

      • Admin view for managing enrollments, tracks, etc

  • Both Frontend WG and BTR need to decide: which MFEs to include

  • Olive had a matrix of things-to-do which Adolfo put together. For example: translations, minimal documentation, adding to Tutor. No such matrix exists yet for Palm.

  • Testing

    • Some are replacements of current features. Testing might be as easy as : use the old test plan

    • Some are new feature – we’ll need to dig up docs to write tests

  • Ghassan: It would be good to include learner dashboard so that we can remove the old one. We will need to do it at some point.

  • Kyle: ORA Grading too

  • Ghassan: What is communications? bulk email?

    • Peter thinks so, not sure

    • Maksim: Yes, it’s about bulk email

  • Peter will talk to Frontend and Product WG

  • Dean: We could bring them in as experimental if it made sense, like we did for Olive

 

 

@Kyle McCormick

Form Regis: Hi gang! I'll be in a train today during the meetup, so I might be able to listen but not talk. I would have liked to discuss the devops meetup that will happen at the end of the conference, Friday next week. This concerns the BTR, but also devexp and large instances working groups. Ideally, we will be talking about issues that are relevant for many people in the room. So I proposed that we do not focus on overly technical details, but instead take the opportunity to encourage people to start new projects together. Meeting people in the flesh is a real motivation booster, I think.
Thus, I'd like to suggest that we do a series of lightning talks on stuff that we would like to work on together. Lots of preparation is not expected for these talks! It's perfectly fine not to have slides.
Do you like this format? Please write your lightning talk ideas here: https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/12bXPvpjuqRGSHBW21GY9Nsnr5eWXiQ0kwp1ZxOpnXU0/mobilebasic
