CGI testing responsibilities
Also see: version notes and CGI_Testing.
Process
There will be a "guest CGI" each release. The Push Shepherd will place an asterisk next to the "guest CGI" in the "testing responsibilities" issue associated with the release. One person, noted below, will be responsible for coordinating the testing of that guest CGI.
Each person (except the Push Shepherd) should review the Code Summaries to see if developers have checked in code pertaining to their CGI(s). Sometimes developers make big changes to CGIs that are not listed in redmine, and this is the only way to catch them before they leak out. If you find something you are going to test, whether it's listed in redmine or not, add your name to the *description* section of the "testing responsibilities" issue like so "hgCustom - Greg". This will be the clue to the Push Shepherd to wait for you to note "done testing" in the "testing responsibilities" issue before pushing the CGIs.
