Hello NetCAT 9.0 participants,
now that many tribes have successfully reviewed their test
specifications the time has come to actually test the functionality of
Apache NetBeans 9.0 IDE.
For that we have created a new Apache NetBeans 9.0 Full Testing test
run [1] in Synergy which will be used to track progress of our team
effort. We should test the latest development build on latest JDK 8 and
also sanity test on JDK 10 once it gets released later this month.

1. Tribe leader's tasks in a nutshell:
======================================
1.1 Consider availability of your tribe members and distribute test
specifications among the team to reach maximum but realistic coverage of
testing. According to such analysis use "Create a new assignments for
tribe" button with globe icon on the test run page to distribute the
work load and then save the assignments. Since this is a full testing
please do not use any labels.
1.2 Organize 3 on-line meetings with your tribe on 3/23, 3/30 and 4/6
during which you as a team discuss actual quality status of your
functionality area and by reaching consensus decide which 3 bugs can be
marked with BLOCKER tag (if any) and which blocker bugs can be waived
for 9.0 (if any). Please remember there may be only 3 open bugs with
BLOCKER tag at maximum at all times.
2. Tribe member's tasks in a nutshell:
======================================
2.1 Wait for test assignment(s) created by your tribe leader. Once you
get an invitation for your test assignment, click the link in that
e-mail which will get you to the test run. Scroll down to the table with
test assignments, select your name in the "User" pull-down menu and
click the "Start (continue if saved)" button. Resize your browser to
cover 1/2 of your screen and open NetBeans 9.0 in the other 1/2. Then
simply perform the test steps from the displayed test case and
afterwards click one of the buttons:
SKIP - if you cannot complete given test case in which case please
specify your reason from "Comment" pull-down menu
PASSED - if you achieved expected result (you can also provide issue
number which is related but does not completely fail the test case)
FAILED - if you were not able to achieve expected result in which case
you must provide issue number failing the test case
PAUSE - as soon as you cannot continue with your testing (Synergy
measures time needed for execution of each test case so remember to
click PAUSE as soon as you cannot proceed not to bias measured execution
times)
2.2 Participate in 3 on-line meetings organized by your tribe leader and
contribute with your findings. In case you consider some issue a
blocker, raise it during the meetings, bring constructive arguments and
help achieve consensus.
The deadline to finish this full testing is April 12th, but please don't
postpone the work until the last week otherwise you make it harder for
others to help you if we don't see any real progress.
Finally, if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask! :)
Good luck and happy testing!
