Note:

We want to make sure that our milestone builds are lot more stable. As a result, we are proposing the following:

  • Close the workspace from Milestone completion date until Milestone testing completion date for any new enhancements. This way, we will not be introducing instability into the MS builds, and use that trunk for fixing high priority issues filed by Quality team. So, please plan in advance to avoid any feature check-ins during these periods.
  • As a guideline, we also want to propose engineers to avoid checking-in features into the trunk that are not committed deliverables for that Milestone. This again is to avoid any instability since those features would any way not be tested by Quality team since it will not be their test plans. Please use your judgment in making that call since stability is key here.
  • Conduct more exhaustive Milestone certification testing than usual
  • Improve the Unit Test coverage from Engineers for all the requirements

Please let us know if you have any feedback (dev@sailfin.java.net) on the above proposal.
