Hi, it looks like our new DSpace-release mail list has spawned a thread more appropriate for the DSpace-devel mail list, so I'm moving it to DSpace-devel with this message (see below). If it gets any replies on DSpace-release, I (or another member of the 3.0 Release Team) will forward them to DSpace-devel.
Let me take this opportunity, however, to say, if you're at all interested in the DSpace 3.0 release process, I encourage you to subscribe to the DSpace-release mail list: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-release The list is open to anyone interested. -- HARDY POTTINGER <pottinge...@umsystem.edu> University of Missouri Library Systems http://lso.umsystem.edu/~pottingerhj/ https://MOspace.umsystem.edu/ "I think I like disruptive technology because it makes the whole world a bit fuzzy, my normal state of mind." -- Robert Llewellyn (aka Kryten) On 5/3/12 1:19 PM, "Pottinger, Hardy J." <pottinge...@umsystem.edu> wrote: >Hi, I've had a ticket open in my issue tracker (UM Library Systems' Trac, >not DSpace's Jira) for a year, to develop a suite of acceptance tests for >our repository, using something like Http Unit >(http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?HttpUnit). > >In case it's needed, here's a definition of an "acceptance test" (from >http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?AcceptanceTest ><http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?AcceptanceTest>): > >"A formal test conducted to determine whether or not a system satisfies >its acceptance criteria and to enable the customer to determine whether or >not to accept the system." > >Such a framework for DSpace could be expanded by individual repositories, >to help repository managers vet the customization work deployed by their >developers. > >Alas, I've not yet had time to devote to this notion. > >I'll also note that this appears to be veering off from a release-specific >topic to a dev topic, any objections to moving this thread to >DSpace-devel? > > >-- >HARDY POTTINGER <pottinge...@umsystem.edu> >University of Missouri Library Systems >http://lso.umsystem.edu/~pottingerhj/ >https://MOspace.umsystem.edu/ >"Look for the answer inside your question." --Rumi > > > > > >On 5/3/12 12:05 PM, "Mark Diggory" <mdigg...@atmire.com> wrote: > >>Beta isn't very useful, actual integration releases automatically >>deployed to a testing server with some sort of http unit testing. that >>would alleviate a significant amount of uncertainty and testathon >>necessity at the end of the release cycle. >> >>Mark >> >>On Thursday, May 3, 2012, Pottinger, Hardy J. wrote: >> >>One quick thought on the schedule from last year, I think the beta >> >>releases were pretty ambitious, and with OR12 coming up, while not >>everyone is going to be able to make it to Edinburgh, I think some of us >>are going to try, and getting ready for/attending OR will make getting >>these beta releases out a bit difficult. >>-- >>HARDY POTTINGER <pottinge...@umsystem.edu <javascript:;>> >>University of Missouri Library Systems >>http://lso.umsystem.edu/~pottingerhj/ >>https://MOspace.umsystem.edu/ >>"The bigger the smile you give, the bigger the smile you get.
