Hi Vito,
you pointed out a major problem I see. Everyone want to use the TestTool
for their sanity checks. But a whole test cycle isn't needed for
languages and platforms which are provided by Sun. These languages and
platforms are tested by the Sun QA-team and we announce the results of
the testing in this list. Actually only a small sanity check is needed
to approve a release. But this sanity check isn't defined until now. So
in my opinion the L10N team do too much QA for a release.
The other situation are languages or platforms which are not supported
by Sun. The language dependencies are not integrated in the test scripts
and they throw many errors and warning. So the teams do not know, if
the release can be get an approval or not. For this we need patches or
fixes by the L10N teams. As I heard you work together with Jogi (JSI) to
identify all these parts in the scripts. If this could be finished and
the dependencies for a new language are integrated each other L10N team
can benefit from these results.
Yes, these are points we have to discuss in the meeting or have to find
solutions in near future.
Please stay tuned with Jogi, even if he is on vacation now.

Id like you to address the question of the role testtool has within TCM
and the question of an update to the (l10n) Testtool environment. Given
the fact that testtool is part of Release sanity test and also a number
of other test scenarios, one can not simply think it away. Otoh I have
yet to find somebody among 136 testers who has passed (or failed) any
entries involving testtool. My opinion: striking it out test cases would
mean lowering qa standards. Otoh keeping it in would involve first some
more effort, before the tool gets out to the community - right now I
have my doubts about it. I am spending more time on adjusting testtool
to my local conditions than on testing 2.1. jsi is away on holidays etc...
In any case a policy statement would be welcome.
