Notes from Tool discussion on 4/6/2010
Attendance: jgriffin, tchung

thick client test tool

• will be a test extension
• includes a python runner that includes scripts to setup the environment to run the tests
• will not touch weave UI, only touch direct Weave API calls
• intend for a testscript to run against weave server, call all the weave API's in firefox
• do it in the order specified per profile (open 1 profile, close and open another)

scenarios

• test syncing on multiple profiles
• the order is defined by the testcase, up to development order
• includes account creation, conflict resolution
• its not client specific

functions

• generate a lot of traffic to the server
• this covers tests from client to server. can allow development team to write unit tests
• the rest covered by tests

Roadmap

• test extension to have an alpha in 2 weeks (not dependent on python runner)
• another week for the python runner stuff
• need a couple of weeks to test and debug
• potentially early version mid may, end of may where people are happy with it, end of may
