services, repository and dev platform meeting 8 Nov 2005

agenda

• Intro question:
  • Name one automated test (unit, performance, functional or other) that we don't have and should have. Extra whuffie if it is not already a bugzilla task and can be implemented in less than one day.
  • Question, problem, or issue for the agenda?
• 0.6 Code Complete (m7)
• PerformanceProject

notes

Automated test ideas

• Create a new event and make it recur daily.
• Do a complete review of repository unit tests, they are antiquated
• Performance tests for email (send/receive) -- noticed that we do already have functional tests
• Mock cosmo for functional and unit tests
• More generally, mock servers for unit tests
  • Grant has a webdav server
  • PJE can help with mock reactor
• Endurance stress tests for sharing (try to share and share and share)
  • to really make this work would require different setup with tinderbox
• Tests for sample parcels (only one flickr test right now)
• More i18n tests
• Test profiling, testing, debugging facilities available in chandler (they are broken occasionally)
• Unit tests for date edge cases
  • special days, problematic dates
  • daylight savings time
  • eastern timezone
  • locales with non gregorian calendars
