Hi,

Let me state this and give me a try to help understanding what automated
testing represents.
1. Trust your tools (automated tests, testtool, scripts)
....
With
results created by automated testers at SUN for me it is proven the
tests are running in general and results created are reproducable.
(notice here that this is "at Sun" - QUASTE status clearly shows that this is not the
case "outside SUN"
I even don't think that this is a Sun vs. community issue,
I often get the feedback the the automated test run of the last night
went "red", the QA engineer has to have a look if these are really
errors and in most cases I get the feedback, this was a "false
positive", everything is alright. :-(
Developers also might have the expectation that they can use
testautomation in their environment. But this is also not possible for
the same reasons.
I also have the impression that they are not that many issues filed in
IssueTracker which are detected with the help of the testautomation, but
I may be wrong here since there is no such flag in IssueTracker
indicating that. I'm also not sure if I'd really should expect this, but
I'm wondering about this,
That said, I think the testautomation is surely a good tool to track
changes in behavior in a well defined environment, but this is surely
not the framework that can be used by developers for doing tests, or can
be used for QA as a general purpose tool for doing broad QA.
We discussed this in the ESC for quite some time, that for this purpose
the implementation of Unit tests is important.
