Workbench Setup

Use the Java editor breadcrumb whenever possible.

Dani tests using the Java browsing perspective
Deepak tests using the Java perspective with Package Explorer replaced by the Project Explorer
Markus tests using the Java perspective with Package Explorer in working set mode
Raksha tests using the Java perspective with Package Explorer in project mode

Each new bug must state whether it is a regression compared to 3.6 or whether it is not.

New 3.7 Functionality (Dani, Raksha)

Test all new features that have been added during 3.7 development. This can be done by testing the features mentioned in the M1-M7 New and Noteworthy documents.

Views and Editors (Raksha, Deepak)

resize behavior
scrolling (rulers)
different fonts and colors
detached views
multiple windows
multiple editor areas
help support

Compilation Units not on Build Path (Raksha, Deepak)

Test Edit, Source and Refactoring actions for compilation units not on the build path.
Test for:
- editors opened on repository files
- editors opened on Java file excluded from the build path
- editors opened on Java files stored in Simple projects
Actions should either operate without an error, not be present or present a dialog that the CU is not on the build path

Workspace and project setup (Deepak, Markus)

Setup workspaces and projects in ways unusual compared to your normal setup. Test the following workspace and project setups:

use external projects
use linked resources
- linked output folders
- linked source folders
- linked and nested source folders
- test rendering in views
- linked class folders
use resource filters
use multiple output folders
use combination of exclusion & inclusion filters
use user defined library containers (JUnit as a user defined library)
- quick fixes for unbound user libraries
- quick fixes for build path problems
full source workspace

Workspace compatibility (Markus, Dani)

Verify that an existing workspace can be started on the new version and is fully functional. Also verify that preferences exported with an older workspace can be imported and work. Check the .log for serious problems.

upgrade a 3.5 workspace to 3.7
upgrade a 3.6 workspace to 3.7

Verify that projects created and checked into CVS with an older version can be checked out with 3.7.

Freestyle Testing (all)

Once all of the above test items are done (including those where you are listed as second tester), start with a fresh workspace and change the settings in a way you normally don't work.

Implement a little feature or tool or fix one of your favorite bugs.
