Hi,
The University of Amsterdam is
starting an upgrade project for its local version of uPortal
called mijnUvA. Rather than running QA locally, I would like
to donate a day a week of my time till at least the summer,
supporting QA for the central code base for uPortal, Portlets
or CAS. I have experience including:
* Test coordination (was QA
director for Sakai CLE sometime back)
* Code reviews / Bug reports
based on advice given by tools such as PMD, FindBugs. I have
been a Java developer for large scale campus wide projects, so
understand the code.
* Continuous Integration using
Jenkins
(http://www.packtpub.com/jenkins-continuous-integration-cookbook/book)
* Automated testing including
Jmeter, Selenium webdriver. Quality metrics thresholds.
* Writing all kinds of
documentation
A number of action points:
1) I was wondering if anyone has
test plans /resources such as performance tests that are not
available centrally that I could cleanup and run centrally.
2) If anyone wants me to test,
write tests review their part of the uPortal code base just
ask.
3) If anyone else is working on
testing but not centrally then perhaps we can have a Skype
meeting to compare notes.
4) There are area's of
documentation that would support our local development such as
a howto on converting ichannels into portlets (168,286). If it
helps I am prepared to interview developers and write some of
the missing pages.
Looking forward to getting my
fingers dirty with work. Please feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Alan
