This is a great idea. Running the TCK is a huge pain for us and we
have a very small matrix right now (2 version of geronimo * 1
platform * 1 Java VM).
I was chatting with David Blevins about this yesterday, and he
suggested that we make this a full subproject. The subproject
could mange TCK and integration testing, hourly builds, nightly
releases, daily performance tests with trade and spec and so on.
We could create the supproject using the TCK build tree, the
scripts tree, and itests modules.
What do you think?
That works for me. I've been meaning to find some better way of
documenting and publishing what info we can about our TCK work, and
this would fit the bill quite nicely. The biggest challenge I see is
doing this in such a way that we keep the current TCK stuff in a
private repo so it can't be seen by anyone. So we'd have a /tck
subproject (or whatever we want to call it) and then have some link
to the private rep from there, or something.

I'd like to discuss how we might expand our efforts in the area of
testing and QA. Now that we're getting into the habit of J2EE
certified releases, we have a much bigger testing load - we want
to have more testing happening continuously between releases, and
then at release time have a wide matrix of tested platforms. All
of this takes work, lots of work.
The short answer is that we need more people interested in
testing, and we need to find a place for them in the project.
Right now, our policy is that committers are able to get access to
the TCK and participate on the private TCK mail list. I'd like to
maintain this concept - that people with access to these materials
and discussion have a demonstrable tie to the project - but I
think we should discuss something along the lines of a "QA
committer", someone who can begin their participation in the
project focused on testing (and of course over time move to
whatever they show interested an aptitude in. It's a big, serious
job (far bigger and far more serious than I ever thought), and we
certainly need the help.
