We have had a startling number of “my events have disappeared!” bugs in the wake of the 0.5 release. Bugs like 381573<\/a>, 373439<\/a>, 386197<\/a>, and 386734<\/a>. We must figure out what is going on here. Are these all the same issue? Are they several different issues? So, we’re going to have a Remote Calendar test day on Tuesday<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nThis test day is going to be different because we’re encouraging everyone to get creative with their testing. See if you can help us find out why these events are disappearing. Take a look at Litmus, and see what we tested there, then think about ways to go beyond that. On Tuesday, we’ll be giving an award for the most creative and effective test, so be sure to add your test to the Test Day Wiki page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nWe’ve been doing a great job as a QA team, but I think this issue gives us an opportunity to think about how we can improve the quality of Lightning and Sunbird. I don’t believe that the only solution is to quit our day jobs and work on this around the clock (although that might work).<\/p>\n

\nI think we can find ways to work smarter, to do more with the time and the people we have. Maybe we should look into automating some of the testing. Maybe we should look at the weak parts of our Litmus test suite and fix those areas. Maybe we need to delve deeper into performance and memory leak profiling.<\/p>\n

\nWe have started this wiki page<\/a> for brainstorming ways to improve every aspect of calendar QA. We’re going to take your ideas, prioritize them based on what we need the most before 0.7 and put them onto our revised Calendar QA ToDo list<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nWe will see you on Tuesday. Get creative, bring us your best tests, and prepare to discover where all those events have gone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
