[Testing] Test meeting minutes, 7/9/07

[Kim Quirk]

Minutes, 7/9/07

Attending: Ronak, John, Zack, Cameron, Jim, Kim

   - Discussed the B4 units and distribution. Both India and Westford
   test groups will get a few B4 units to add to their test beds.
   - We went over the 100 laptop test. We will start setting up this
   week. One of each SKU (variations in hardware vendors) will go into the
   permanent mesh. We have added activation and updating to the tests that will
   be included. We discussed Ronak's plan and how we will try to get to that as
   well.

Ed Russeau had sent an email last week outlining some of the areas that we
should really improve on as we head towards FRS (first revenue ship). We
addressed a number of those points:

   - Trial-2 should really be thought of as alpha for FRS.
   - MP (mass production) should be thought of as beta; mid-September. We
   may call this Trial-3 since alpha and beta are not terms used at OLPC.
   - FRS for software release is targeted for mid-October, which is when
   we believe the first customers will be getting the production laptops. They
   will be highly encouraged (required?) to upgrade. This will be v1.0. I
   will try to reflect these dates in the roadmap.
   - Test people would like to see a more detailed schedule. Kim will
   create one and figure out the best way to publish it. We talked about Task
   Juggler.
   - Each of these releases should have its own release criteria.
   - Ideally we would like a good list of requirements for these releases
   -- enumerated and testable. Kim will start by trying to get requirements for
   the most important features not related to Activities since that seems to be
   the area of least documentation (suspend/resume, wireless connectivity,
   etc). Next highest priority will be the core activities.
   - The requirements pages should be read-only and should get sign off
   by mgmt of olpc.
   - Equipment: We would like to get a school server to Westford and to
   India for more complete testing. Kim will initiate the discussion on this
   internally.
   - We should standardize as much as possible on test plan format.
   - Zack and Cameron are currently responsible for getting us up on a
   test case management system. They will get back to me if it isn't possible
   or a good idea to run this from redhat.
   - The test groups don't want new builds every day. We should use the
   current build 494 for a few days to really get to some detailed testing. We
   should have the next good build on Thursday or Friday.
   - We want to make sure that there really is a feature freeze - no new
   features should be added to this stream. Kim and Jim need to follow up on
   this and make sure that developers who are working on new features have some
   place else to check them in.

We decided to tackle ideas on an ECO process next week.
