TestBots are the solution for running automated tests on reliable
builds.
For 'testing' you can take every build you want. I haven't seen builds
of all build bots, but you can use that versions for testing - checking
Translation, checking general bug fixed, checking features, writing
test case specifications, checking features with test case
specifications etc. There aren't so many differences in the builds
that it isn't possible to check that on the current build bots. But
if you want to check a build with VCLTestTool you can run into a
handful differences in test results. This has to be avoided, I think.
Or do you think builds from BuildBots aren't useful in general?
Ok - the discussion started, because Mechtilde told Stephan Bergman that
there are problems with builds from the buildbots, if we want to do CWS
testing on such builds.
The reason to bring this up was because community members like to help
more with CWS testing and approval.
Instead of discussing how to resolve the problems and make it easier for
community members to help with the QA process we have been:
- asked to provide a more deatieled list of differences in test results
- debating why we need more reliable builds from buildbots at all
- seem to be confused, what buildbots are for at all
- still are asked, if there are problems with builds from buildbots.
The only thing I can do at the moment is to shake my head and stop this
discussion.
