Perform the following steps:
Ensure that the project was shared properly (i.e. remote folders were created).
Since: Single select a project and select share. Since: 3.0 M6
The following scenario represents how a user would reconnect a project that does
not contain CVS meta-data to it's remote counterpart. It is assumed that the local project
was derived from a previous version of the remote project but both the local project and
the remote may have been modified since then.
Perform the following steps: Perform the following steps: Since: 3.0 M8 Perform the following steps: Perform the following steps: Since: 2.1 Since: Ensure that replace srubs the local resources leaving to outgoing changes. And verify the following:
Since: Check the following for all cases of replace:
Also ensure that the tag filtering in the dialog works properly.
Since: Since: 2.0 You can run an update and open the console to see the files that are being updated. You can run the update and switch to another branch, this should keep your outgoing changes and update all other non-changed files. Since: 3.0 M5 Perform the following steps: Repeat the above steps for a project in a branch and a project version. Repeat the above steps for a selected folder and a selected file. Perform the following steps: Repeat the above for various conbinations (branch + version, version + branch,
branch + branch, version + version). Repeat the above steps for a selected folder and a selected file. Perform the following steps: Since: M8
You should be able to select a project/folder/resource and compare againts
another branch or version. Multi-select should work across projects in
different repositories. Once the comparison is shown it should be possible to
merge changes into the local workspace. It should also be possible to remember
the comparison, which will cause it to appear in the synchronize view.
We should support multi-selection of files, but I'm not sure what should be
shown to the user in those cases. Entire contents of the folder are compared deep. If changes are found the user is notified and they are
shown in a dialog. If no changes are found the user is notified. The dialog should allow the user to browse
the changes and merge anything into his workspace. If the user wants to keep the comparison non-model, he
can add it to the synchronize view. There is a button to do so on the compare dialog.
When the compare dialog is showing several changes you should be able to selectively merge anything into the local workspace. Specific attention should
be made to the following cases:
Since: M8 Since: Enable CVS quick diff for text and java files via the Workbench > Editors > QuickDiff preference. Then try the following
scenarios. Since: 3.0
Synchronizing means to compare your local workspace contents with the contents
in another location with the goal that the two locations should contain the
same contents at some point.
There are a few ways of launching a synchronize operation. They all open the same dialog but the initial
selection is affected by where the operation is launched. Here is the list of ways to start a
synchronize along with the expected initial selection.
Once launched, a synchronize will run in the background. Currently, the user is prompted to
switch perspectives when the synchronize is launched. When a synchronize completes, the user is prompted either with a dialog stating there is no changes
or one that contains a details area that shows the incoming changes. The user
is given the option to supress the post-synchronize dialog.
In case you can select a file, it will be refreshed with the server, and if changes are found the compare editor is opened
that will allow browsing the changes. If no changes are found, you will be prompted. Select a folder or group of files and Team > Synchronize will open the sync view and automatically refresh with
the remote repository.
Since: 3.0
Ensure that choosing direction modes result in proper filtering.

Outgoing File Addition | Add to Version Control | Adds the file to version control. The icon should change in the sync view, and Commit should now be enabled. |
Outgoing File Addition | Add to .cvsignore | Adds the file to .cvsignore. The file should disappear from the sync view. The .cvsignore file should appear (if it wasn't visible already). The file should not appear in subsequent syncs. |
Outgoing File Addition | Commit | Prompt for release comment shoudl also include prompt for file type if the type of the new file is not known. Cancel aborts, OK commits local file to server. |
Outgoing File Addition | Override and Update | Local file is deleted. |

Outgoing File Deletion | Override and Update | File is re-created, remote contents become local. |
Conflicting File Change | Update | If the change is auto-mergable, the file becomes an outgoing change and includes the remote changes and the local changes. Otherwise, the user is prompted to indicate that a merge was not possible. |
Conflicting File Change | Mark As Merged | File becomes an outgoing change. |
Conflicting File Change | Override and Update | Dialog prompts user to replace local changes. If user cancels nothing happens. If user chooses OK, then local changes are discarded and remote contents replace local. No .# files created, no CVS markup, and the file is not dirty as a result. |

Conflicting changes should be propagated to parent resources such that you can easily see, when the tree is collapsed that there are conflicts. When the conflict is resolved, the parent conflict markers should be removed.
Error and warning makers are shown on resources and propagated to parent resources such that you can easily see if you are releasing errors or warnings.
Changes to branches, revisions, should be updated automatically in the views decorators. For example, if you branch from the sync view the branch name should appear.

Create a conflicting file change. Manually edit the left source pane in the sync view. Hit "Save" on the popup menu. The file should remain a Conflict. Choose Mark as Merged in the popup menu of the tree. The file should change to an outgoing change. Commit the outgoing change.
Try Override and Update with different combinations of Auto-Mergeable and Non-Mergeable conflicts in the selection. If all conflicts are Non-Mergeable, then the only choice is to replace with remote or cancel. If one or more conflicts are Auto-Mergeable, the choices are (a) Auto-Merge any applicable files, and replace the rest with remote, (b) Replace all files with remote or (c) Cancel.
Choose Remove from View. Selected nodes should disappear. Refresh the view. The nodes should reappear.
Try any and all of the above, but use a branch instead of HEAD. Behaviour should be identical. The sync view decorator should show you the name of the branch.
Using Team->Branch, Replace With->Branch or Version, and Team->Tag as Version, you can create a project which has different tags mixed into it. For example, one folder may be shared as V2_0, a single file may be attached to the branch NEW_FEATURE_BRANCH, and the root of the project may be attached to HEAD. We need to test usage of these projects in the sync view. For example, if developer 1 has project P shared with HEAD, and folder P/F is shared with branch B, have developer 2 release a change to folder F in HEAD, and have developer 1 perform a sync. In this case developer 1 should not see the incoming change.

Purpose: Test the two types of refresh behaviour available in the history view
When a local file is modified and saved, a refresh event is sent out and the history view should show the newest revision. This will work for both local history and CVS history files. (CVS files need to have the history view in the appropriate viewing mode: either "Remote and Local Revisions" or "Local Revisions".)
There is also a Refresh button on the toolbar. This is mainly useful for CVS file histories if you want to check if any revisions have been committed. Note that its not really of any use for local revisions as they are updated automatically.

Timings
Last Modified: $Date: 2007/01/19 20:49:23 $Overview
The purpose of this section is to provide a small set of tests that can
be used to benchmark the Eclipse CVS client. The areas tested are:
Setup
The following should be considered when obtaining timings:
The following numbers were obtained on a 2.8GHz PC running GTK, Sun 14.2
with autobuild off and operations run in the forground. The project used was
org.eclipse.jdt.tests.refactoring. It has a large number of folders and files
which give interesting times. The date the timings were obtained were May 31st, 2004
so similar numbers can be obtained for comparison using the project snapshot at that time
(which can be obtained using a Date tag).
Checkout
Checkout of org.eclipse.jdt.tests.refactoring as of 2004/05/31. The timings are
in "mm:ss" and were obtained by obervation (i.e. stopwatch).
Synchronize
Synchronizing of org.eclipse.jdt.tests.refactoring as of 2004/05/31. The timings are
in "mm:ss" and were obtained by obervation (i.e. stopwatch).
Synchronize with no changes
Synchronize with all outgoing, no incoming
Synchronize with incoming changes
Incoming changes were simulated by loading version v20040106 and
then removing the tag (using a special utility action). This resulted
in 393 incoming changes.
The timing for Eclipse also includes the status command to fetch the revisions for the 393 incoming changes.
Update
These timings were obtained using Team>Update for Eclipse and "cvs update ." for the CLI.
Update with no changes
Update with all false outgoing changes (using touch)
Update with incoming changes
Incoming changes were simulated by loading version v20040106 and
then removing the tag (using a special utility action). This resulted
in 393 incoming changes.

These tests are to sanity check editors behavior relating to calling validateEdit. The tests will try to cover all cases where files are changed by the validateEdit handler and changes are made to the read-only bit.
These test cases outline the expected behavior of single file editors in terms of calling validateEdit and handling of error conditions. All scenarios assume that a repository provider is mapped to a project and has created a sandbox with files that are marked read-only.
The org.eclipse.team.example.filesystem plugin is a repository provider that simulates a pessimistic workflow. You can use it to run these tests and validate (no pun intended) your validateEdit editor support. To use the pessimistic provider, share a project with the repository provider called "File System Pessimistic Example" and then you can add to control the files and checkin/checkout will toggle the read-only bit and touch the file. You can change the behavior of the validateEdit call via the pessimistic preference page. For example, you can force the operation to fail and update contents of the file when checked out.
These tests should be run against the following combinations of tools:
The following scenarios are stated in terms of the Navigator view and JDT. Other tools should translate them to a set of scenarios that make sense for the tool.
