Bug Council Update

• 4 weeks before the Feature Freeze date (9/23/04), we began weekly bug councils with Project leads and Design team to go over the list of outstanding bugs and assigning them appropriate target milestones and priorities.
• 1 week before the Code Freeze date, we start designating bugs that block 0.4 release.
• All check-ins during this time should be associated with a bug number targeted for 0.4 release and appropriate comments.
• After the Code Freeze date, only checkins for bugs blocking the 0.4 release will be accepted and they should also be code-reviwed.

IMAP Test Accounts from Universities

• We now have the following IMAP test accounts from different universities to test Chandler with
  • 3 test accounts from University of Washington
  • 1 test account from MIT
  • 1 test account from University of Chicago
  • 1 test account from University of California, Berkeley
  • 1 test account from Duke

IRC Office Hour QA Sessions

• We have conducted 2 collaborative QA sessions with the community during IRC office hours.
• Every session has been very productive in uncovering innovative bugs, get some good feedback and helping verify resolved bugs (we collectively verified more than 40 bugs in 1 hour yesterday).

Evaluation of Test Automation Tools Status

• In terms of third-party tools, I have evaluated 2 tools : Redstone Software's Eggplant and Segue's Silk Test tool.
• Eggplant relies on relative position of windows for comparison and is therefore too rigid for our pirposes.
• Segue's Silk Test seems better suited for our purposes but runs on a single platform - windows.
• In talks with the Apps team on extending the Pyunit framework to use cpia events for generating ui actions within chandler. This work will be scheduled for 0.5 release.
