Orca

Hi All:

What conference number should we use, and what time is good
for Beijing,
US East, and Ireland for the followup meeting on Dec 18th?

Hi All:

Thanks for your time at the Orca/A11Y testing meeting the
other night.  
I think we made some good progress and I look forward to
Beijing's help 
with testing both Orca and the AT-SPI infrastructure.  I
think the 
conclusions we reached were:

  0) Regression testing for Orca is dearly needed.  We're
using the
     Orca test harness because it's all we have for now and
it helps
     fill our near term testing gap.

  1) Tim will take a look at the written Orca test plan and
the
     automated Orca test harness and we'll meet again on Dec
18th,
     where 'we' means Ireland, Beijing, and US East Coast
(me).
     Between now and Dec 18th, it is expected that Tim and I
will
     exchange a fair amount of e-mail.

  2) While the textual description of tests is mostly
applicable
     to all distributions that GNOME ships on, Tim will
focus 
     primarily on creating automated tests for Solaris.

  3) There is an opportunity for Beijing to lead (or at
least 
     help lead) the overall testing strategy for GNOME

One of the action items from meeting was for me to
distribute notes on 
the Orca testing harness, which Tim would then read and
start evaluating.  
I've written some notes up here:

  http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/orca/test/README


The document also points to the work that Mike Pedersen from
the Orca 
team has been doing with respect to writing textual
descriptions of 
tests for Orca:

  http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/*che
ckout*/orca/docs/doc-set/orca.html#TESTINGPLAN

As I mentioned in the meeting, things are still incomplete
and we don't
view the above work as final.  We really welcome the testing
experience
and background that Tim (and Beijung) are bringing to the
effort.  In
addition, there is definitely an opportunity for looking at
the larger 
GNOME testing picture using something such as LDTP and/or
Dogtail, but 
we really really need good regression testing for Orca right
now.

Thanks!

Will
