NetBeans 6.7 Patch1 / 6.7.1 Upgrade test matrix
Contents |
How to conduct the test
- Choose your platform
- Read your test matrix
- Get all necessary NB IDE installers, NB IDE zip-archives and JDK installers for your tests (see "Useful links" on bottom)
- Install JDK 5u20 and 6u15
- If your test case is marked "Root-User", then become root (or remember to use "Run as" resp. "Run as Administrator" on Win XP resp. Win Vista)
- Prepare your IDE, either run installer or unpack zip archive
- Run the test as described by scenario
- Check messages.log using Check Module Vers tool (launch it using Java 6 WebStart)
- Report test status back to your test matrix, use to mark successful tests. Test issues report ASAP.

Test Matrix
This matrix is based on matrix generated by All Pairs.
Legend:
OS - operating system
Update - patches applied before the test
JDK - which JDK version to use either JDK 5 or JDK 6. Use always the latest update release available from java.sun.com
Root-User - if you see "Root-User" value, then you have to install IDE and all required previous patches as root/Administrator, then run IDE as unprivileged user and try to install Patch 2. If you see User-User, run whole scenario as one user.
Packs - which edition you have to install All, JavaSE, JavaFX, Java, PHP, Ruby or C/C++
Scenario :
(don't forget to change Stable UC : Tools -> Plugins -> Settings -> NetBeans (Edit) in your NB 6.7) to http://smetiste.czech.sun.com/builds/netbeans/6.7.1/fcs/latest/uc/catalog.xml.gz
WholePatch - update the IDE with the whole Patch 1 via main menu Tools -> Plugins -> Updates Tab
PartPatch - update the IDE with only part of Patch 1 via main menu Tools -> Plugins -> Updates Tab (try to guess what updates are needed for the IDE edition used for installation)
CheckForUpdates - update to Patch 1 via main menu Help -> Check for Updates
All values with "~" are optional and you are free to change it as necessary. The selected value is there just for balanced distribution.
