+1 Feature freeze and even RC timelines should not be applicable to automation tests at this time. BVT and other regression tests would continue to be developed beyond release date as well in reality. So dates should not hold for Automation.
However having some timeline restriction would help to bring automation to the same level as code base. -----Original Message----- From: Prasanna Santhanam [mailto:t...@apache.org] Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2013 10:20 PM To: CloudStack Dev Subject: [DISCUSS] code-freeze and integration tests Hi, I would like to get everyone's opinions on the timeline and policies for bringing in automated tests into the repo. Integration tests are written in marvin by various people today within and without Citrix. Similar to docs I'd like to propose that tests can be committed to the repository beyond the freeze date. Right now all tests are being committed to master since that's the branch that we cut our releases out of. But after the branch for a release has been cut tests will be committed to both release branch and master if everyone agrees this is a good thing.
