This page keeps track of the current release status of the Desktop Experience Team (aka Unity Team)

What was done engineering wise?

• Few bug fixes, quickly stopped because of the absence of test framework and diverging expectations between Unity upstream and Platforms new requirements
• Worked on clarifying the level of tests and defining which types of tests (user-acceptance, system integration, unit test) are required for different types of tasks (bug fixes, feature development)
• Defined 2 tasks forces to unblock the situation and create 2 end-to-end test cases, to serve as as reference for future development work; ETA: next week; this is our ONLY PRIORITY, since the embargo has stalled ALL of the development workflow

• Instanciated Kanban workflow connected with Design and Platform bug backlog at http://people.canonical.com/~platform/design/upstream.html

What's about to land that might impact the other teams?

• Nothing.

Dependencies on other teams, blocking items

• Waiting for IS to put Unity tarmac setup into production.
• Blocked on diverging definitions of tests and quality assurance priorities

Blueprints

None

Burndown and spec completion levels:

• For alpha-1: TBD

• Entire cycle: TBD

Release targetted bugs being worked on/monitored

Stalled, waiting for a reset after the quality situation is resolved.
