The chair is heno. 15:59 MootBot Commands Available: [TOPIC], [IDEA], [ACTION], [AGREED], [LINK], [VOTE] 16:00 heno agenda https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Meetings 16:01 heno [TOPIC] QA Today: OpenOffice bug day and test automation development in #ubuntu-testing 16:01 MootBot New Topic: QA Today: OpenOffice bug day and test automation development in #ubuntu-testing 16:01 heno again, mainly FYI 16:01 heno any points needing discussion here? 16:01 davmor2 how goes the OO.o buggin' 16:01 stgraber hello 16:01 bdmurray pedro_: have you tried that gm script? 16:01 liw heno, I could paste the urls for the record 16:01 stgraber I'm currently at the station, will be home in 35min 16:02 heno liw: please do 16:02 liw https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Automation https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Automation/DogtailTutorial https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Automation/Coverage https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Automation/ScriptingGuide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Automation/LimitationsOfDogtail 16:02 liw hmm... no, not like that 16:02 heno stgraber: ok, see you Smile :) 16:02 pedro_ bdmurray: not yet, I'm adding in the old way the tags by now 16:02 liw [LINK] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Automation 16:02 MootBot LINK received: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Automation 16:03 liw that's the main page, from which sub-pages are linked 16:03 bdmurray I'm hurt 16:04 heno bdmurray: as in blood on the keyboard? 16:04 bdmurray heno: no as in my feelings Wink ;) I'll get over it though 16:04 heno good news Smile :) 16:04 heno ok, moving on 16:04 heno [TOPIC] Cleanup and presentation of qa-hardy-list 16:04 MootBot New Topic: Cleanup and presentation of qa-hardy-list 16:05 heno A few bugs there are not triaged, in the new state and the LP listing is quite poor with lots of dupes 16:06 davmor2 where we on about sorry? 16:06 heno I can go through and triage the lagging ones 16:07 heno https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=qa-hardy-list 16:07 heno ogasawara: would it be possible to create a listing like the kernel one for these? 16:07 ogasawara heno: sure. it'll just bit a bit long. 16:08 heno It will be a bit more tidy when we present it to the dev teams 16:08 heno your kernel list isn't sorted by anything right? 16:08 ogasawara heno: nope 16:08 heno what should we sort by, assignee? 16:09 heno one nice feature of your listing is that the fixed bugs stay on the page (at the bottom) 16:09 heno ogasawara: how much manual maintenance do you have with that page now? 16:10 ogasawara heno: none other than copying over the new list each week 16:10 heno I assume you have to move bugs to 'fixed' at some point 16:10 ogasawara nope, they move to 'fixed' automatically 16:10 heno but with some lag? 16:11 ogasawara heno: I've got the cron job running every hour on rookery 16:11 heno because there are some fixed bugs at the top of the list 16:11 ogasawara ahh, that's on purpose 16:11 heno right, it a good thing, I just wondered about the mechanics of it 16:11 ogasawara I think they should be listed at the bottom also 16:12 heno indeed they are, ok 16:13 heno [AGREED] heno will re-triage the qa-hardy-list and ogasawara will set up a display page 16:13 MootBot AGREED received: heno will re-triage the qa-hardy-list and ogasawara will set up a display page 16:13 davmor2 it would be easier if they could just be listed by the level of fixedness Smile :) 16:13 heno ogasawara: let's take the implementation to email 16:13 davmor2 new at the top fixed at the bottom 16:14 heno davmor2: the state, yeah that works too 16:14 ogasawara I can put together a few prototypes and we can go from there 16:14 heno btw, for ref http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogasawara/hardy-buglist.html is the kernel page we talked about above 16:15 heno [TOPIC] Spec status https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Specs 16:15 MootBot New Topic: Spec status https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Specs 16:15 davmor2 heno that does make it a lot simpler 16:15 ogasawara developer weather report spec: http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/weatherreport/ 16:16 heno shall we just go down the list? 16:16 heno ogasawara: ooops [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'data/complete_data.txt' 16:16 ogasawara heno: yah, it's a know issue, you have to hit refresh 16:17 heno ok, looks good! 16:17 heno but starting with https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/bug-statistics 16:17 ogasawara heno: imbrandon and I believe it has to do with the ugle use of files to store the data right now 16:18 heno we should discuss bug stats further in London 16:18 bdmurray okay 16:18 heno some good work has been done on this, but we may have to adjust the spec to fit that 16:19 heno I'm thinking of the new graph types and display app 16:20 heno I want to do some thinking about which metrics can help drive development in a good direction 16:20 heno https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/fixed-bug-verification 16:21 pedro_ are we using the test case for iso testing ? 16:21 pedro_ I haven't seen a single one where the iso-testing tag has been added 16:21 heno status is 'not started' but some tagging work has been done 16:21 heno have we seen any TEST CASE: blocks? 16:22 bdmurray I wanted to review the iso-testing bugs so could take a look and add them where possible 16:23 heno pedro_: would you say any of these bugs are suitable to test automation? 16:23 heno we may soon have the ability to do that 16:24 pedro_ heno: yeah, I'd like to see the list first 16:25 heno ok, lets review this in london 16:25 pedro_ ok cool 16:25 heno https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-automated-tests 16:25 heno we touched on this earlier 16:26 heno Roadmap is here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Automation/Roadmap 16:26 heno liw: is that still a realistic plan? 16:27 heno we missed the Alpha 3 milestone by a bit (as expected) but I think we have made good progress since 16:27 liw heno, I suspect not, since it's taking so long to get dogtail work well for us (given that we're abusing it in unintended ways Smile :) 16:28 liw heno, but things might go faster at the sprint, though, with greater availability and interpersonal bandwidth 16:28 heno I've been playing with dogtail+ubuquity today, without much luck 16:28 davmor2 heno: I think a more realistic goal would be to just get as many useable scripts together first 16:28 heno yeah, we need to get help from Evan and Luke on that 16:29 liw I'm working on getting the gthumb and nautilus scripts working at all for me Sad :( (l10n issues) 16:29 liw but once I do, I expect to get a simple test runner written up quickly 16:29 pedro_ liw: i can send you them in Spanish Wink ;-) 16:29 heno davmor2: ubiquity is quite important WRT ISO testing though 16:29 liw pedro_, I'm not sure that'll help in my fi_FI locale Smile :) 16:30 liw but I'll set up an emulated environment for running the scripts, with an English speaking locale, so that should fix things 16:30 heno liw: https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/package-level-tests <- shall we consider this complete for Hardy 16:30 heno pending a DC server for it 16:30 liw heno, once the stuff is running in the DC, yes 16:31 heno ok 16:31 heno and https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/self-testing-desktop ? Shall we roll that over to Hardy+1? 16:32 liw I suspect that is going to have to happen Sad :( 16:32 davmor2 hell yes 16:32 heno getting stuff into the distro will get more difficult closer to release 16:32 liw yeah 16:32 heno ok, I'll just do that today and we'll move on 16:32 davmor2 you'll be best off get that in as early as possible in the next release to be honest 16:33 heno that brings us back to https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/developer-weather-report 16:34 heno we'll want to display that on qa.u.c at some point 16:34 ogasawara ok that should be simple enough 16:34 heno that page will serve nicely for discussions in London though 16:34 ogasawara yes, I'd like to get feedback at the sprint 16:35 heno [I'm skipping the informational specs] 16:36 liw ogasawara, incidentally, there's a proposal to make piuparts output stuff so that the Debian Package Tracking System, which is a bit similar to the weather report (but more geared to packages) could show piuparts results: http://wiki.debian.org/piuparts#head-a2e5fe9cd411e0ea1a8d56e351c70ff60a1e9c5d -- we could discuss something like that for Ubuntu as well 16:36 stgraber re 16:36 heno https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/qa-website 16:36 heno stgraber: looking at spec status 16:37 heno would you say that's implemented? 16:37 stgraber no, we are stil missing some major parts 16:37 stgraber LP integration will likely not be done for Hardy but I still have some changes to do for Hardy 16:38 stgraber https://wiki.stgraber.org/UbuntuQA/QAWebsite/TODO 16:38 ogasawara liw: sounds good, lets get together next week to iron out some details 16:38 stgraber that's the current status of this spec 16:38 liw ogasawara, ack 16:38 heno ok, thanks. 16:39 stgraber the security part is getting better and better, remaining bits are mainly UI stuff and backend (syncing blueprints) 16:39 stgraber + the abillity to get the list of builds from cdimage that I'm still waiting on for some major rework of the download info page 16:39 heno stgraber: should some things be moved on to a new spec for Hardy+1? 16:40 stgraber yes, LP integration and XML-RPC should be moved for Hardy+1 16:40 stgraber so should the QA-Feedback spec 16:41 heno ok, let's do that 16:41 heno https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/qa-website-tokamak implemented? 16:41 heno we just haven't put it to proper use yet 16:42 stgraber You should ask nand about this one, I don't think it's been entirely implemented, we still have some minor remaining bits (let me have a look at his todolist) 16:42 stgraber https://wiki.stgraber.org/UbuntuQA/QAPoll/TODO 16:43 stgraber so mainly UI stuff for him as well 16:43 heno there may be a few missing details, but on the whole it's up and running 16:43 heno and looking very good Smile :) 16:43 stgraber QA-Website and QA-Poll will soon be implemented, QA-Tracker is mainly stuck on this .manifest file on cdimage 16:44 heno yeah, I'll grab the release team about that next week 16:44 stgraber the remaining bits are admin UIs for things like adding a website, products, testcases, menu links, ... 16:44 heno that's it for specs 16:45 heno [TOPIC] http://qa.ubuntu.com frontpage, what do you want on it ? 16:45 MootBot New Topic: http://qa.ubuntu.com frontpage, what do you want on it ? 16:45 bdmurray bugs with more than 5 subscribers is missing 16:45 stgraber ok, so we currently have a basic website listing + some links 16:45 bdmurray in the Useful area 16:46 heno we should probably remove the not-yet active features 16:46 stgraber I would like to have an improved web page, showing some stats, ... 16:46 liw that's where the weather report is going to be, is it? 16:47 heno I guess http://server.qa.ubuntu.com/ is not in use ATM for example 16:47 stgraber liw: "be" maybe not, but "shown" possibly, looks like the good place for it at least 16:47 stgraber heno: well, they requested it and I have created it, now it's up to them to send me a list of product and testcases so they can start using it ... 16:47 liw depending on the size of the weather report, it might perhaps make sense to have a mini-report on qa.ubuntu.com with a link to the full page 16:48 heno liw: I think we should pull the full page into qa.u.c 16:49 heno you should be able to drill down to details from a simple summary page 16:50 stgraber I'm thinking of some kind of block layout, with one part for the bugs (links to the different bug stats), another with the weather report, another with some wiki links (bug day, Ubuntu bugcontrol team, ...) 16:50 heno stgraber: how do we submit layout ideas, in HTML? or shall we mock it up in a wiki page to play with possibilities? 16:50 stgraber well having something useful as it's supposed to be our main page 16:51 stgraber html may be better as you can play with the layout 16:51 heno we could make use of the left hand menu space too 16:51 stgraber we can also create a wiki page containing the list of wanted items and attached the mockups 16:51 heno ok, so contributions are welcome Smile :) 16:52 heno a wiki page allows for comments too; let's do that 16:52 heno any other topics for the meeting? 16:53 stgraber not from me 16:53 heno seem not 16:53 heno #endmeeting 16:53 MootBot Meeting finished at 16:53.}}}
