+ <dd>A: Details of the kind of testing done for any specified SWT patch up for review.<br>
+ <p>Here is the complete list:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Results of the test snippet (if any) associated with that specified bug.
+ <li>Results of the Widget's new behavior(if applicable) as tested with various SWT examples: ControlExample.java, CustomControlExample.java and BrowserExample.java
+ <li>For changes done to any specific widget, which all related SWT snippets are covered from the list of: <a href="https://www.eclipse.org/swt/snippets/">SWT Snippets</a>.
+ <li>When adding a new API always recommend to add JUnits test as separate gerrit patch(as gerrit validation will only succeed when the new API is in master and an IBuild exists)
+ <li>For Windows only patch, which all operating systems are covered like Windows7, Windows10(at times specific version of Win10 if applicable)
+ <li>For MAC only patch, which all operating systems are covered (Mac10.14, Mac10.13 etc...)
+ <li>For Linux only patch, which all GTK versions are covered (GTK3, GTK4 or both) and also which all windowing systems are covered.
+ <li>For patches across multiple platform try to come up with at-least two platform coverage if possible.
+ <li>Also if you expect some behavior change in Eclipse always, recommended to launch Eclipse in self-hosted mode to verify the behavior.
