4. Approach

4.1 Test Case Reference

• Test Specifications for NetBeans 6.1
  http://wiki.netbeans.org/TestSpecifications61
• Tutorials and other documents

4.2 QA Phase

The testing will be divided into two phases (or more if necessary). Each test phase has predefined start date and end date.

QA Phase 1:

When the QA Phase 1 starts, translation may not complete. This test phase should be completed by ML RC.

• sanity test for all supported platforms/locales
  • results should be recorded regularly
  • when test period expires, all status must be recorded
  • one test case will be executed on a few select platform/locale combinations
  • the combinations will be defined in 5.4 Test Matrix
• when bugs are fixed, regression test shall be done

QA Phase 2:

This test phase must be completed by FCS GO/NoGO.

• install/uninstall on all platform/locale
• sanity test IDE by quickly creating, building and running small applications
• sanity test online help by opening the help, randomly selecting some chapters, and searching etc.
• when bugs are fixed, regression test shall be done
