[sakai2-tcc] 2.8 status, schedule and tags

[Berg, Alan]

Noah, QA is not pointing fingers. Each tag I congratulate the effort of Individuals and organisations that involve themselves. I am happy with the QA leads, MT, Unicon,Longsight, Marist and anyone mentioned on the testers wall (and of course the TCC). The list will expand as the testers wall notes expand.

I agree with Megan's assessment. I can only judge the effort by stated intention and e-mail traffic. The testers wall is an over estimate of man hours and can be found here: http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/QA/QA+Testers+Wall

The testing plan of attack with names by product to test: http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/QA/2.7.0+Changes looks bleak, but perhaps despite the on-list calls the documentation is indirect through Jira.

John, every bit helps, but I must say Rsmarts stated effort is minimal, Conditional release, which has already been tested by other parties. The selenium plans are always welcome, but are 90% covered by a stress test at Columbia that goes down 2 levels of links for all tools in a site. The selenium plans become more interesting when automated against Hudson.

The 2.8 cycle has less hands than 2.7 which had less hands than 2.6 A pause in tagging makes sense if it gives the community time to increase resources.

For what it's worth I've been vendor dropping alpha4 this week, I'm
hoping to finish merging in the next few days and then Corey will be
running our selenium tests, which should
amount to a decent amount of functional testing.
