Xue Fei, Thanks for kick off this topic! It is very important for us to begin think about 4.0 testing target and process! IMO, 4.0 final regression test is unlikely to happen in this year, since there are many big features we'd like to have in 4.0.
While one thing I think we can do from now on is to setup regular test again the development snapshot builds. I suggest we create a test plan which last for 1 or 2 month in Testlink, with all the available test cases in system, from acceptance test suites, to those target to advanced features. QA volunteers can come to Testlink and pickup some test cases to execute and update the test result with build number. Then after 2 months, we can harvest the result and check the executed coverage, then plan the test target for the next phase. Through this kind of iterative testing, we can continuously monitor the quality. Of course, we should keep the monthly or bi-monthly milestone build. Just my 2 cents. - Shenfeng (Simon) 2012/11/20 Ji Yan <yanji...@gmail.com> > What's the release goal of AOO 4.0, in my understanding, no regression > issue is hard goal. to support this goal we need more regression test. > > Besides that, I think test platform support also need to be considered. > There is discussion before on old support platforms, IMHO, we should > announce support platform for which AOO has been test on. > > Let's post ideas on wiki page[1]. > > [1] > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.0+Test+Planning > > > 2012/11/20 Xue Fei Duan <duanx...@gmail.com> > > > Hi All, > > Recently, there are many new volunteers to join us.
