How to use the VCL Testtool

by NAKATA, Maho (maho@openoffice.org) http://qa.openoffice.org/

Introduction

To mark as `released', release candidate packages must be QA'ed. How candidates are QA'ed are up-to the responsibilities of QA lead of each native language project. A possible release test can be done by using QAtesttool, and it is widely accepted.

VMware Player or not?

For Pentium/Opteron machines, we used VMware Player which is freely available. In this document, we intensively used VMware Player (or VMware Server). Advantages are the following:

  • We can isolate OpenOffice.org environment and do not break ones setting for tests.
  • We can perform two tests at the same time.
  • You can use VMware Server at your option, but VMware Player is bit faster.

How long does one test run take?

Release sanity test usually takes about 15 hours regardless of the platform, e.g., CPU etc.
