Underworld 1.0 Release Plan

We planned to release Underworld 1.0 by the 30th June. It seems we're unlikely to hit that now with a code passing all existing unit, integration & system tests, so we need to define exactly what's left to do, and how long it will take:

Getting Regression test Suite Passing

  • Get the regression server going again so we can ensure it stays this way

Test status as at 17/7/2007 - release candidate branch started

code pass fail
StGermain 201 9
StgFEM 55 0
PICellerator 29 15
Underworld 44 6

Pretty good - PICellerator is known to have some significantly out-of-date tests.

Test Status at 26/6/2007 when release effort started

code pass fail
StGermain 203 9
StgFEM 22 57
PICellerator 2 32
Underworld 0 41

Specific Tickets that need resolving for this release

  • Whether the new testing framework Jules, Luke and myself have worked on should be included;
  • Policy w.r.t ExperimentalUnderworld - the "diet", and how we should test what remains.
  • Performance: include results from Luke's paper. Won't have time to do a full performance check though.
  • Documenting the release: mainly a Tarball. See this milestone in the AuScopeDoc Trac
