Hi all,
attending: Florian R., Bjoern, Petr
structured manual testing (Yifan?):
- MozTrap was quickly and ad-hoc demoed at the LibreOffice conference, found
quite some interest
(QA and RelEng Roundtable)
bug wrangling:
- bugzilla with OpenID would still require registering
- that kinda defeats the purpose, any other ideas?
- skip HardHack selection, devs were almosty all at the conference last week
(or swamped with preparations)
community building/communication (Cor?):
- Florian did some awesome work to make server installations (and thus
master testing) on Windows more accessable:
http://flosmind.wordpress.com/2012/10/21/libreoffice-server-installation-gui/
- is blocked by fdo#54304
AI: - take this to the ESC/Andras (Bjoern)
- the newly donated virtual machines should be used allow users to remotely
login and test master
- intended to be combined with bibisect
- a lot of setup work though, still off a few months
- Florian came up with this work, to improve the quality of filed bugs:
-
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-F7WJa3859ik/UGwY8UbpeVI/AAAAAAAAAuo/aH7I5dYz2t4/s2000/BS%2520API.jpg
- originally intended to be implemented inside LibreOffice (Florian)
- brainstormed at the german QA weekend
- would allow easy testdocument inclusion in upload
- safe detection of version and OS
- would be localized
- stats show already 50 unconfirmed bugs/month since the last cleanup
- multiple issues with implementing this inside LibreOffice itself
(Bjoern):
- privacy
- proxy/connectivity settings (e.g. corp. firewalls)
- resources/assumed hard to find a volunteer for
- we cant adjust old and released versions
AI: - take to the ESC still, to prove the assumption (Bjoern)
- maybe better to extend a webbased solution for that (Bjoern/Petr)
- OS and version can be encoded in the initial "file a bug" url
- updateable and localizable
- no 'automatic' inclusion of docs, but that is tricky anyway from a
privacy POV
- while our current infra team is stuffed with work, its in general
easier to find talent for this kind of work (and maybe grow the infra
team)
- in theory, it is possible to make the BSA file bugs without the reporter
registering (Petr/Bjoern)
- file them from a [email protected] account
- add a bsa-reporter:[email protected] field in the whiteboard status
- add some procmail magic to the [email protected] account that
forwards to the bsa-reporter
- without keeping the original reporter in the loop, bug report quality
will only get worse
- very hackish approach
- the idea to create to send the bug to a mailing list for review instead
of blindly creating a bug is interesting (Bjoern)
- might help getting more people involved in QA
- works with local teams in non-english too
- we could do a testdrive of this with those l10n communities that have
enough manpower to handle the incoming native language reports:
- portuguese/brazil
- french
- german
- english
- requires those prescreening the report to be responsive and reliable
(thus their teams need a certain size)
Best,
Bjoern
