December 5th TestDay

You have probably heard by now that several of Sun's OpenOffice team are helping with the Sunbird/Lightning effort. What have they been doing, exactly? Well, come to this test day and find out. We will be testing the new event dialog user interfaces and free/busy support that the Sun folks have been primarily responsible for. We should also be able to do some testing against the Sun Java calendar server (WCAP). Join us as we delve into this brand new functionality. We need lots of eyes, not only do we want to find defects, but we also want to ensure that the new interfaces are clear, intuitive and user friendly.

The Test Day wiki page will be landing today in its normal location.

Remember you can always find ways to help out by checking out our Calendar QA ToDo List

We look forward to seeing you on December 5th.

Results from November 14 Test Day

On November 14th, we had a very successful test day. We ran 179 Litmus test cases, we pounded the new Migration wizard functionality and we beta tested our new Testday bot, calbot.

Thanks very much to everyone that helped out, especially Matthaeus123 who ran 173 of those Litmus testcases! Thanks also to everyone that wrestled with the migration wizard code: Sebo, Ssitter, Koen, Unlogic, Nor123, Celina63, Jminta, Lilmatt, Mc, Mat75, and Matthaeus123. Thanks also to xFallenAngel for his calbot bot.

We found several issues in the migration wizard code, and even rebuilt the patch to fix dead-broke issues halfway through the test day. Next time we have a test day focused on brand new functionality, we will ensure the functionality is smoke-tested prior to the test day. We are also going to change the times for the test day so that the day better corresponds to when the nightly builds run. This should help clear some confusion surrounding "which build do I test with". Thanks again to everyone that participated. We're going to take a week off from test days, so we can make these changes. Our next test day will be December 5th. We'll see you on the 5th!

Happy Testing.

Interview on Lightning and OpenOffice.org cooperation

I would like to point you to an interview that Louis Suárez-Potts, chair and secretary of the OpenOffice.org community council, held with Stephan Schaefer, the lead developer from Sun who is leading Sun's efforts on improving Lightning. It gives a good overview on the background and future plans of Sun's involvement.

November 14 Testday

The calendar developers are working hard toward the next Lightning/Sunbird release, landing several new features in recent weeks. These features include a migration wizard (automatically imports calendar data from Apple iCAL and Gnome Evolution!), improved printing capabilities, and improved ability to handle third-party application timezone definitions.

The Calendar-QA team plans to celebrate these new features with an entire test day focused specifically on the new functionality, and we'd love for you to join us. The test day will be on November 14, from 01:00 (UTC) to November 15, 00:00 (UTC), that's 23 full hours of testing. For this test day, we will be returning to our Litmus Testing System, so it will be very easy for everyone to contribute. Please refer to the test day wiki for more information.

Additionally, the Calendar-QA team has already begun planning for our next test day. If you'd like to help out with that effort, please drop by the #calendar-qa (irc://irc.mozilla.org#calendar-qa) channel this week and let us know.

We hope to see you in #calendar-qa on November 14th.
