| <h3>What is the game plan?</h3> |
| <p>The Eclipse 4.3 release endgame involves a sequence of test/fix |
| passes leading to the official 4.3 release. Even more than at other |
| times, we welcome all the help we can get with testing and fixing the |
| various Eclipse release candidates. To participate effectively everyone |
| needs to track this schedule closely so that we end up testing the |
| latest release candidate and entering <a href="http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/">bugzilla |
| bug reports</a> in time to be considered for the fix pass that |
| immediately follows, giving rise to the next release candidate. |
| Throughout the process, we are most concerned with "stop ship" |
| (P1) bugs that must be fixed before we can declare that we have a |
| release. If we discover a "stop ship" bug late in the process, |
| we may have to slip the schedule to allow it to be fixed and retested. |
| This is why it is so important to ferret out "stop ship" bugs |
| as early as possible, while there is still time left in the schedule to |
| address them. Most of the bugs that will be uncovered will be less |
| serious. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| During the fix passes, we prioritize the less serious bugs and |
| try to fix as many of the important ones as possible without |
| jeopardizing the schedule or the overall stability of the release. We're |
| always on the look out for "regression" type bugs where we |
| somehow manage to break something that had been working fine before. |
| Regressions are an important warning sign that our optimism and |
| enthusiasm is outpacing our understanding and abilities. Calling special |
| attention to regressions helps us to collectively bring our head back in |
| line with our feet, so to speak. With each cycle, we gradually raise the |
| bar on the kinds and numbers of changes that we will consider making, |
| until we reach a point where we would only fix "stop ship" |
| bugs and regressions. (The lesser bugs that we don't end up fixing will |
| be reconsidered for the next release.) Because of this progressive |
| tightening, the windows of opportunity for fixing problems within the |
| schedule are relatively narrow. Things works best if everyone pushes in |
| the right direction on the right things at the right times. |
| </p> |
| <p>As it is virtually impossible to work out all the details in advance, we will be |
| updating this page regularly to reflect current status and current |
| testing emphasis. If you are participating we suggest you bookmark this |
| page in your browser and check back frequently for updates. General |
| announcements during the endgame are posted to the <a href="mailto:platform-releng-dev@eclipse.org">platform-releng-dev@eclipse.org</a> |
| developer mailing list. Anyone participating in the endgame should be |
| subscribed to this list, and should direct any general questions and |
| comments about the process there as well.</p> |
| |
| <p><b><a name="ReleaseCandidate"></a>Release Candidate</b> |
| - Release candidate builds are like milestone builds. The main difference |
| is that release candidate builds are usually immediately followed by |
| a rigorous test pass. We test each release |
| candidate to find serious bugs and to increase our confidence in what |
| we have. We then fix the serious bugs in each release candidate to get |
| the next release candidate, which ought to be even better. Each release |
| candidate build is kicked off at the indicated time, with the goal being |
| to have a release candidate available within 24 hours. As the build |
| is ready, all of the teams validate it and declare it either "go" |
| of "no go" for testing. Getting a build that is testable may |
| require a few attempts. These happen in rapid succession, and we continue |
| rebuilding and revalidating until we have our next release candidate. |
| It is critical that we have enough time to do test passes. We will slide |
| the schedule and use weekends as necessary if there are delays of more |
| than 24 hours in getting a viable release candidate. Note that we will |
| also do warm-up builds in the days leading up to each release candidate |
| build to do early integration of fixes.</p> |
| |
| <p><b><a name="TestPass"></a>Test Pass</b> - Once we have a release |
| candidate build in hand, we enter an intensive test pass for a limited |
| period of time. Each component team is responsible for preparing a |
| comprehensive test plan for their component. These component test plans |
| cover all the functionality that requires manual testing, and identifies |
| the operating environments in which the testing needs to be done. Each |
| component team is responsible for staffing and carrying out their test |
| plan each cycle. Each component team is expected to have most of the |
| team testing throughout each test pass (a small subset of the team may |
| be focused on concurrently preparing candidate fixes for "stop |
| ship" bugs or other high priority tasks). Everyone in the Eclipse |
| community is encouraged to participate in test passes and report bugs to |
| <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/">bugzilla</a>. Ideally, the bug |
| report should explicitly call attention to regressions and potential |
| "stop ship" problems.</p> |
| |
| <p><b><a name="FixPass"></a>Fix Pass</b> - After each test pass, we analyze |
| and prioritize the set of outstanding bugs and enter an intensive fix |
| pass for a limited period of time where we try to fix the most pressing |
| problems. The bugs that we intend to fix for the next release candidate |
| are tagged accordingly (e.g., a bug tagged as Target 4.3 RC1 should |
| be fixed as of the release candidate 1 build). "stop ship" |
| bugs and regressions are always given first priority; less severe problems |
| are addressed by decreasing priority and as many as possible are fixed |
| in the time available. With each successive release candidate, we also |
| tighten the rules for the kinds of changes will be allowed to the code |
| base and increase the number of people that check the changes before |
| they are released. The rules apply to any and all changes to the code. |
| Any committer for any Eclipse component can perform the checking duties. |
| All committers for a component have the right to veto a change (with |
| an explanation) even after it has been released into the code base. |
| If such a veto occurs, the change automatically comes out until the |
| vetoing committer's concerns are addressed. The committer who releases |
| a given change, the person that checks the change, and the component |
| leads that approved making the change in the first place, are jointly |
| responsible for seeing it through. In other words, we expect a strong |
| commitment to <em>personally</em> help fix any problems caused by changes |
| made in fix passes.</p> |

| <h3 id="holidays">Holidays</h3> |
| <p> |
| Here are some holidays during the freeze period to keep in mind: |
| <ul> |
| <li>May 9 - Switzerland</li> |
| <li>May 20 - Canada, Switzerland</li> |
| <li>May 30 - Poland</li> |
| </ul> |
| </p> |
| <h3>Details</h3> |
| <h4><a name="Transition"></a>Transition to fix and polish</h4> |
| <ul> |
| <li>All components transition on May 8 to polishing and fixing |
| bugs for remainder of release cycle.</li> |
| <li>PMC approval is required for feature work including API changes |
| being done after M7. Use the <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/eclipse-pmc/maillist.html">eclipse pmc</a> mailing list |
| to request API and feature work approval. |
| If a change is made to API to make it binary compatible with a previous release, technically this is still an API change, and thus it must be treated |
| in the same way as any other API change requests.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li>No changes are to be released without appropriate approval and associated bug report. See the fix pass |
| <a href="#FixPassRules">rules of engagement</a> for specific approval requirements for each release candidate. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <h4><a name="RC0"></a>RC0/M7 Goals</h4> |
| <ul> |
| <li>RC0 and milestone M7 are one and the same.</li> |
| <li>All components feature complete.</li> |
| <li>Accurate prioritization of all outstanding defects.</li> |
| <li>String externalization complete (including mnemonics).</li> |
| <li>4.3 test plans posted.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h4><a name="RC1"></a>RC1 Goals</h4> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Accurate prioritization of all outstanding defects.</li> |
| <li>All work on polish items complete.</li> |
| <li>Final API.</li> |
| <li>No outstanding P1 defects. </li> |
| <li>As few P2 defects as possible.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h4><a name="TestPassBeforeRC1"></a>Test pass prior to RC1</h4> |
| <p>Two day test pass involving entire community, using the M7 build (also called RC0). |
| The goal of this test pass is to get broad testing coverage of the workflows, |
| features, and platforms that aren't regularly tested during our day to day development. |
| Committers should take the opportunity to browse through New & Noteworthy |
| documents from past milestones and give all the new features for the release |
| a good workout. |
| </p> |
| <h4><a name="TestPassBeforeRC2"></a>Test pass prior to RC2</h4> |
| <p>Full day test pass involving entire community, using |
| the most recent nightly build to help stabilize HEAD for the upcoming RC2 build. |
| Committers with high priority fixes to make for RC2 can opt out of testing |
| to focus on getting in fixes. However, all committers should be working |
| with the test candidate build. |
| <h4><a name="RC2"></a>RC2 Goals</h4> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Final artwork in place. |
| <li>Accurate prioritization of all outstanding defects. |
| <li>No outstanding P1 defects. |
| <li>As few P2 defects as possible.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h4><a name="TestPassUsingRC2"></a>Test pass using RC2</h4> |
| <p>Concerted 1-day testing effort on RC2 involving |
| entire community including all component teams. In an effort to |
| mix things up and hold off the onset of "tester |
| fatigue", each component team will be designating one team |
| member that will be assigned to test some other component.</p> |
| <h4><a name="RC3"></a>RC3 Goals</h4> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Accurate prioritization of all outstanding defects. |
| <li>No outstanding P1 defects. |
| <li>As few P2 defects as possible.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h4><a name="TestPassUsingRC3"></a>Test pass using RC3</h4> |
| <p>Concerted 1-day testing effort on RC3 involving |
| entire community including all component teams, searching for |
| regressions and on the lookout for undiscovered "stop |
| ship" defects.</p> |
| <h4><a name="RC4"></a>RC4 Goals</h4> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Accurate prioritization of all outstanding defects. |
| <li>Stable code base; no outstanding P1 defects.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <h4><a name="Release4.3"></a>Release 4.3</h4> |
| <p>Ship Eclipse 4.3 during the last week of June.</p> |
| <p>There is no formal test pass for RC4 and beyond other |
| than to check for last minute regressions. We will perform sanity |
| checking focused on documentation. Release 4.3 should be complete |
| and available for download as soon as we are satisfied with it.</p> |
