The following goals have been established for the Testing Group: + +* Support and Maintain the existing X Test Suite +* Extend the existing X Test Suite to cover additional interfaces which have become X.Org standards +* Support the XOF Release process, and the XOF Release Manager by providing test suites, scripts and tool that can be used for regression and verification testing of each new release +* Provide input on the testability of new features during the design and development process of those features +* define and maintain procedures for testing portions of the product not covered by the X Test Suite. + +## Organization + +The Test Group will communicate primarily via IRC and email. Occasional conference calls may be held as needed. IRC meetings shall default to being held weekly at a time that is suitable to the majority of the active participants of the group. + +* IRC on #xorg-test on [[FreeNode|http://freenode.net/]] with channel logging archive available via the web. +* email list [[xorg-test@lists.x.org|mailto:xorg-test@lists.x.org]] ([[http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-test/|http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-test/]]) +* CVS is at [[http://cvs.freedesktop.org/xtest/|http://cvs.freedesktop.org/xtest/]] +Participation is open to everyone. Membership in X.Org is not required, but is encouraged. + + +## Deliverables + +We need to take a look at the exisiting APIs to create a list of tests which are missing (results documented here). Examples include the RENDER extension, RandR, DAMAGE and COMPOSITE. + +Unless there is good reason, new tests shall be in the [[TET|http://tetworks.opengroup.org]] framework to facilitate integration into the existing test suite. An additional task to investigate is to provide additional documentation that helps people to understand the TET framework more easily. + +Other frameworks could also be investigated, but we should be cautious to not get bogged down in endless religious debate over testing frameworks. + + +## Policies + +* [[TestGroup/CodeManagement|TestGroup/CodeManagement]] +* [[TestGroup/HowTo|TestGroup/HowTo]] + +## Build the X Test Suite + +Building the X Test Suite requires a few steps, but none of them are terribly difficult.
