Goals

+ +

As part of our on-going effort to improve the release engineering + process, we have identified several areas that need significant + quality assurance testing during the release candidate phase. + Below, we've listed the changes in &rel; that we feel merit + the most attention due to their involving substantial changes to the + system, or having arrived late in the development cycle leading up + to the release. In general, our goal in the QA process is to + attempt to check a number of things:

+ + + +

To effectively determine this, it's desirable to test the system in + a diverse set of environments, applying a wide set of workloads, + forcing the system to operate both within and outside its normal + specification. Particular focus should often be placed on the + continuing (or new) capability of the system to perform correctly + when used in concert with systems from other vendors.

+ +

Features to explore carefully:

+ + + +

The release notes will always be + a good place to look for things to test.

IssueStatusResponsibleDescription
PAE testing--More testing should be done with PAE systems to test device + compatibility and performance. In particular, active systems + with 12 gig of ram or more should be thoroughly tested to make + sure the various memory allocation algorithms in the kernel + still scale properly. There were reports of users running out of + KVA space in -CURRENT with large memory machines.
