Notes from Roadmap Meeting

• Drupal 7 API
  • Almost ready to go, JG has created 80 tests with 636 assertions as of today.
  • This will provide a good framework for everyone to do the same. All devs will have to adhere to this approach or code will not be accepted. Using PHP Unit provides a PHP testing framework that shows the % of the code that has tests. This will work well for the API< but may not be as appropriate for Drupal modules, SimpleTest will be the more appropriate tool.
  • We will integrate this into the Jenkins framework at the same time that the API code is released for review. Gervais will work with Jonathan to integrate this using
  • If in an EC2, it will need to spin-up 2 large (1 for Redhat and one for Ubuntu, for example) as a minimum, but 4-6 would not be inappropriate to allow multiple testing foundations. For example:
    • RedHat with Fedora on the same server
    • Redhat with Fedora on a separate server
    • Ubuntu with Fedora on the same server
    • Ubuntu with Fedora on a separate server
  • and then variations on this.
  • Documentation is not quite there, but this will not take much longer.
  • The current codename is Tuque and the code is in Jonathan's Git.
  • David will work with Jonathan to prepare an announcement. Jonathan will create a PDF of the docs. The date for getting this done is April 16. This will be a combined release of Tuque and the 1st 2012 Islandora 6 release.
