Multi Phase Test Approach

UNIT TEST

Autobuild

-Package dependencies-Correct libraries- Integrated tests and sanity checks

COMPONENT TEST

TIDB/Cerberus Harness

- Functional tests for all packages- Test Cases from PDB- Priority Based (CORE->ADDON)

FEATURE TEST

Code

Package

Feature Doc TIDB

- Manual test of all features includedin the feature document

SYSTEM TEST

Installed Systems Cerberus

- Stress and reliability tests- Industry test suites- Certification tests

REGRESSIONTESTS

TIDB/Cerberus

- Regression of all automated tests- Validation of fixed bugs- Regression of failed feature tests

How can the community contribute?

• bugzilla / testopia– main interface and used by Novell internally as well

• Novell is opensourcing test tools / infrastructure / documentation

– QA code will be available in the Build Service

– Build Service will be able to run tests after a build job is done

– easier integration for Software maintainers

• building a QA community– awards & prizes for the best QA contributors (reports, test

cases, ...)

• better cooperation between the community and Novell– QA community manager
