I disagree here and you always rate issues starting with setting a
priority. And as always you can't fix them all with a fix number of
developers. It simply doesn't work. That means you have to prioritize
and that is quite normal.

exactly and we have defined some criteria for issues, crashes, data loss
and security issues have always high priority. Regressions are also very
important especially when often used functionality is broken.

It is documented in the wiki but I haven't the reference in place yet,
have to look for it.

not for this specific user group and the fix is already available.

I am not sure if I understand you here

no but the project have committed to a release date and I believe the
majority of the community support the new release. You have to set a
date and have define what is important for this date. You can always do
more and can fix more issues but that won't work very well.

> 6. "minor" bugs should also get attention and be targeted
definitely but not short in front of a release. And of course nobody
prevent anybody from fixing such issues. We have a lot of them, many are
probably not longer valid and can be closed, other are not easy to fix
and so on. A good start would be of course to simply check older issues
if they are still valid or not.

as far as I know we haven't pending bugs here. Don't mix this up with
improvement or feature requests. Maybe I don't understand you and you
can explain it again

> 8. RTF is rarely used today - no reason for two appearances in the list
RTF is as far as I known relevant for Ms interoperability in general and
important for other MS filters as well. Even the pure format is not used
often the functionality is important. If somebody knows more please
correct me.

> 9. Are there no "critical" bugs in Math, Draw and Base?
probably yes and probably many other critical bugs in other areas that
are not detected yet or not proposed as showstopper

> 10. Are there enough volunteers to treat these "release blockers" on time?
we hope we can fix them all but volunteers are never enough ;-)

If you think that other issue should be showstopper as well, please
propose them on the dev list and we can discuss them. That's the way how
we want to handle it

Further discussion should take place on the dev list

Re: Regarding test case 1405 (impress)

2013-06-20 Thread Liu Ping
Hi , Prachi

 I  think it should add special description for textbox ,like what
you mention above: textbox default fill type is 'None'  and not a bug for
AOO

But because the testcase had frozen by testing cycle ,i will modify this
test case later if no arguement

Thanks your questions and effort

Regarding test case 1405 (impress)

2013-06-20 Thread Prachi Jain
 
In test case 1405 
http://aootesting.adfinis-sygroup.org/lib/testcases/archiveData.php?edit=testcase&id=17863
Step no 3 says in area section in sidebar "Default Fill type is 'Color (default 
color)'  when textbox inserted into presentation"   
 
But while executing step 3 for textbox Default fill type is 'None'. Is it a bug 
? or "Default Fill type is Color" only applies to drawing object and fontwork. 
 
Thanks

Yes. 
please allow to share the following objections:
1. in general, bugs shouldn't be rated
2. most are crashes - "release blocker" can be other than crash - i.e. copy 
chart from Calc into Writer results in chart area without curve. this is a huge 
bug that doesn't involve a crash
3. with all the respect to Norwegian users, print dialog too wide is a 
negligible problem
4. there should be a documented evidence to the bug evaluation process, based 
on approved SOP
5. the general public has no declared release date - no need to rush as there 
is no commitment to fulfill
6. "minor" bugs should also get attention and be targeted
7. the judgment of introducing the sidebar with so many pending bugs should be 
justified to demonstrate openness

Hi All,

Here is the list of identified candidates[1]/[2] which are proposed to
be 4.0.0 release blockers. Please indicate your selections for release
blockers by giving 1 vote to 1 bug (the vote field is beside the
importance field, in a bug form). We hope to get the vote score this
week, any bugs you think most critical to you, please bring out and
let's discuss.

Armin, Jürgen, Andre and myself reviewed in the last days the list of 
issues which had been requested for release blocker (release blocker 
flag = '?') and are not solved.


We propose the following issues as release blockers [1]:
- 120250

Call for volunteers to do exploration test on Base / Drawing and write test cases for Base / Drawing:

2013-06-20 Thread Yuzhen Fan
Hi All,

This is call for volunteers to do exploration test on Base / Drawing and
write test cases for Base / Drawing:

1. About exploration test on Base and Drawing, please could volunteers
report in QA mail group on (1) covered platform/build/database; (2) tested
scenario/steps; (3) test result/defect found, by updating these two web
links: http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/QA/AOO40_Database for Base, and
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/QA/AOO40_Drawing for Drawing.

Reference: Base test matrix http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/QA/Tescase

2. About writing test cases for Base, I have completed to create
hierarchies of test suites in TestLink based on the finalized test matrix
http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/QA/Tescase. Please could volunteers
navigate the test suite tree view in the Test Specification (Test Project
is Apache OpenOffice testproject), and let's following below process to
organize test case writing:

1) Volunteers provide their TestLink ID and list of their preferred test
suites to Yu Zhen Fan (fanyuz...@gmail.com) (Currently I have Anil Kumar's
TestLink ID and confirmation to write test cases)
2) Yu Zhen specifies the test suites' assignment to the individual volunteer
3) Volunteers write test cases in the assigned test suites, in TestLink.
For test cases related to connectivity testing, please attach the "live"
test DB(s) and provide steps to set up test environment in "Preconditions".
It's encouraged test cases' author to test his/her test cases in execution
stage.

3. I will work with Liu Ping Tan on test matrix for Drawing later this
week, if you have interest on Drawing test case writing, please let me
know, I will put you in the pipeline.


Regards,
Yu Zhen
