Here are some testing strategies that I’d like to see implemented for IcedTea. I’ve asked one of our interns to investigate these points.<\/p>\n
Reduce Mauve-on-IcedTea failures to 0 Once these are complete we can a) set up nightly regression runs on http:\/\/icedtea.classpath.org<\/a>, b) insist on having no regressions in package releases by running Mauve as part of the RPM build.<\/p>\n Make IcedTea demos build standalone<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The IcedTea demos include libraries built during the IcedTea build, but these libraries cannot be built using the provided sample Makefiles. Installing the java-1.7.0-icedtea-demo RPM should a) install the demo source code in \/usr\/share\/java-1.7.0-icedtea\/demo, b) install the demo code’s build requirements as dependencies, c) provide working sample Makefiles. That way, trying the demos can be reduced to something like: Ideally we’d test building and running the demos as part of the RPM build.<\/p>\n Run DaCapo benchmark reproducibly on IcedTea<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Once DaCapo<\/a> runs reliably we can set up nightly benchmark runs on http:\/\/icedtea.classpath.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n Run graphical demos with java.awt.Robot and Xvfb<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n I’d like to include such graphical tests in the RPM build if the setup isn’t too fragile.<\/p>\n Longer term if Sun releases the jtreg harness (and some tests), we won’t hate it<\/a>. \ud83d\ude09 More likely we’ll want to integrate it too into our RPM builds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here are some testing strategies that I’d like to see implemented for IcedTea.
