---------------------------------
Summary: [Release-2.1] Cross team testing
Key: FLINK-38013
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-38013
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: Release System
Reporter: dalongliu
Fix For: 2.1.0
For user facing features that go into the release we'd like to ensure they can
actually be used by Flink users. To achieve this the release managers ensure
that an issue for cross team testing is created in the Apache Flink Jira. This
can and should be picked up by other community members to verify the
functionality and usability of the feature.
The issue should contain some entry points which enables other community
members to test it. It should not contain documentation on how to use the
feature as this should be part of the actual documentation. The cross team
tests are performed after the feature freeze. Documentation should be in place
before that. Those tests are manual tests, so do not confuse them with
automated tests.
To sum that up:
User facing features should be tested by other contributors
The scope is usability and sanity of the feature
The feature needs to be already documented
The contributor creates an issue containing some pointers on how to get started
(e.g. link to the documentation, suggested targets of verification)
Other community members pick those issues up and provide feedback
Cross team testing happens right after the feature freeze
Expectations
Jira issues for each expected release task according to the release plan is
created and labeled as release-testing.
All the created release-testing-related Jira issues are resolved and the
corresponding blocker issues are fixed.
