-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 +1 for getting 2.4.3 out.
Automated tests are great; however, for the frontend, I don't think we have the cycles to create and manage them. Before the 2.3 release, I spent a fair amount of time creating automated tests of the frontend using the Selenium IDE plugin for Firefox. After the updates to the Reservations and resource portions of the site, none of the tests work anymore because they are pretty specific to the UI. So, for the frontend, I'd say we should go with a test plan and test cases that can be manually performed. However, if someone in the community wants to step up and manage automated tests, I'm all for it. The following page exists in our Confluence space: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/VCL/Pre-Release+Test+Procedures I suggest that we greatly add to that page and then create a copy of it for each proposed release. Then, each item on the release specific copy can be crossed off and initialed as being completed.
