Neon Two Day Test Pass
Testing days: Monday, 2016-05-02 and Tuesday 2016-05-03
Test Build: Declared 4.6 M7 build
Testers: Noopur, Markus and Dani
Setup
Platforms
- Windows 7: Dani
- Linux GTK: Noopur
- OS X 10.11: Markus
Workbench Setup
Use the Java editor breadcrumb whenever possible.
- Dani tests using the Java browsing perspective
- Noopur 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
Each new bug must state whether it is a regression or not.
New Neon Functionality (All)
Test all (not just JDT!) new features that have been added during Neon development.
This can be done by testing the features mentioned in the M1-M7, see M7 New and Noteworthy
as an entry point.
Test all new advertised features
- M1 & M2 (Dani)
- M3 & M4 & M5 (Noopur)
- M6 & M7 (Noopur)
Smoke Test (Markus, Noopur)
Peform the {JDT/UI, Text, Search}
Smoke Test.
Note that the test script may be a bit out of date, since we don't run this regularly any more. Simply update the script when you find outdated stuff.
Views and Editors (Dani)
- resize behavior
- scrolling (rulers)
- different fonts and colors
- detached views
- multiple windows
- multiple editor areas
- splitting editors
- help support
Workspace and Project Setup (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 source folders with ignored compile problems
- 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 (Noopur)
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 4.5 workspace to 4.6
- upgrade a 4.4 workspace to 4.6
Verify that projects created and checked into a repository with an older version can be checked out with Neon.
About Info (Dani)
Verify that all plug-ins and features appear correctly in the About dialog:
- bundles are signed
- copyright notices are up-to-date
- plug-in and feature versions are correct
- all features and plug-ins have a license agreement
Freestyle Testing (All)
Once all of the above test items are done, start with a fresh workspace and
change the settings in a way you normally don't work.
Implement a little feature or tool or create a patch for one of your favorite bugs. Use refactorings and UI gestures you don't normally use.
