[Fiware-wpl] R: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Fwd: Detailed instructions on how to generate the Unit Testing Plan deliverable for a FI-WARE GE

[Garino Pierangelo]

HI Juanjo,

in the previous mail there were already guidelines to produce the Unit Testing Plan wiki pages, as far as I know  some pages are already available, and others are under preparation according to those guidelines.
Do you mean that updated instructions will be provided now?

Oggetto: [Fiware-wpl] IMPORTANT REMINDER: Fwd: Detailed instructions on how to generate the Unit Testing Plan deliverable for a FI-WARE GE

Hi all,

  This is a reminder of the task that partners implementing the different GEs should be taking care of.   The most urgent things you should be working on since some time, because they required some time, were:

 *   the addition of features that, complementing the existing ones, provide a accurate and complete description of the features by the GE
 *   the development of the unit testing programs to be run in order to test the different features
  For the former, it is clear where they are placed (Materializing the FI-WARE Vision) and the format is also clear since months.   The second is a matter of having the required unit testing programs ready, each GE will have its own suite of unit testing programs.

  Soon we will provide instructions about how to write down the wiki page for the Unit Testing Plan linked to each GE.

  Best regards,

-- Juanjo

Detailed instructions on how to generate the Unit Testing Plan deliverable for a FI-WARE GE

Dear all,

  As you know, a Unit Testing Plan deliverable has to be produced for each of the GEs to be released as part of the first FI-WARE Release.   Note that this Unit Testing Plan has nothing to do with the Integration Testing Plan which has been asked by the Testbed Chapter team.

  The approach proposed to tackle this deliverable was initially shared in April 10th, and was approved after the integration of some of the compiled comments during the joint WPLs/WPAs confcall that took place in May 7th.

  Here, we will try to elaborate on the details about how to generate this deliverable per GE on the public wiki.

  The very first step will be extend the set of Features listed for each GE within the corresponding section of the "Materializing the FI-WARE Vision" part of the public wiki.   As per now, each GE was supposed to have already a number of Features, Epics and User-Stories listed on the "Materializing the FI-WARE Vision" part of the wiki.    However, listed Features were supposed to only map to new features to be incorporated in the baseline assets for the first FI-WARE Release (i.e., features that required some sort of development on the baseline asset).   Now, we will extend these list of Features so that the whole list of Features provide a comprehensive and complete description of the set of features that will be supported by the GE in the first FI-WARE Release.

  Note that with this first step, we hope that we will be able to address some of the comments made by reviewers on the "FI-WARE Technical Roadmap" deliverable, arguing that the information provided in that deliverable was too abstract (see [1]).   Making this first step, we will be able to add a link to the set of features to be supported by each FI-WARE GE from the "FI-WARE Technical Roadmap" deliverable.   This way, the argument about lack of concreteness should fly away.

  Once we have completed the set of Features for a given GE and listed them within the corresponding section inside the "Materializing the FI-WARE Vision" part of the wiki, we will create a last section, right after the section listing the User-Stories, that will be titled "Unit Testing Plan" and will contain a link to a wiki page describing the Unit Testing Plan that will be applied to the GE.   This wiki page will be titled "<name of GE> - Unit Testing Plan" and will be structured into one section titled "Information Common to all tests" and then several sections, each linked to a Unit Test.   Each Unit Test, will contain:

 *   a subsection titled "Tested Features" which contains a list of links to the wiki pages describing the Features that are tested through the Unit Test
 *   a subsection titled "Test description" which contains detailed information about:
    *   what client programs and (potentially) data sets will be used to run the test
    *   how to run the test:
       *   this should be detailed enough to allow an administrator/operator of a FI-WARE Instance to test if the GE is working properly
       *   dependencies on third party libraries or software should be specified
    *   expected results to be obtained by running the client programs with the referred data set
    *   (note: it would be highly recommended to define a maven project which would be used to run the test and where all dependencies are specified
  Note that a separate Unit Test may be defined per tested Feature.   However, this is not mandatory so a given Unit Test may be used to test several features.   What is important is that the Test description provides the information that is needed to run the tests, not only by the developer of the GE but also by any party (e.g., an administrator/operator of a FI-WARE Instance containing that GE) who decides to use the Unit Testing Plan to verify that the GE is working properly in a given FI-WARE Instance setup.

  A link to the corresponding section in the Unit Testing Plan document at the wiki will be included in a "how-to-test" field of the corresponding backlog entry.   We will soon inform you whether this field will be created in the template linked to Features descriptions in the public Wiki or in the ticket at the tracker that corresponds to the Feature.

  We couldn't provide a reference example of the formula described above because the wiki was down, but we hope to provide it along this week.   Nevertheless, don't hesitate to make any question or complement this proposal.   Your input is more than welcome.

  Please, share these instructions with members of your respective teams.

[1] - Comments from reviewers:

 *   The vague description of functionalities (such as "Extended support for network context data
management and resource management") will not allow the Use Case projects to understand
the FI-WARE propositions correctly, might lead to wrong expectations and might create
further difficulties in the collaboration
 *   Listing feature deliverables as a set of abilities is also unacceptable. The roadmap should
instead indicate the delivery schedule for precise Generic Enablers, which should then be
described in terms of the abilities they will provide.


  Best regards,



-- Juanjo
