Minutes

Adam

1. Would have liked to have Chris more involved
2. Difficult to make estimates, but regular commits helped
3. HTTP integration tests need help
   • Only checking for non-null
   • It would be good to create specific tickets for integration tests
4. Helpful to write expectations on wiki: basing integration tests on this
5. Document API in detail on wiki, with examples
6. We could do better at developing a framework for testing
   • Testing apparatus that can be expected would be useful
     • Example, inspecting RDF responses
7. Process
   • Consensus on testing patterns
   • Document test patterns on wiki
   • End up with good examples in code

Frank

1. Blocked by admins at SCC cluster
2. Learned a bit about AWS
   • AWS exceptions happen everytime with ELB over cluster
   • No errors from localhost on single node
3. Process has not made enough progress to make suggestions moving forward

Greg

1. Scott discovered a delete issue
   • Deleting children needs to be iterated
2. Will be creating tickets for deletes
3. Enjoyed working with Scott, new person on the team writing tests
4. If you care enough about F4, acceptance testing is a minimum
5. Would be helpful to inform local team of need for focus on sprint

Osman

1. Finishing javadoc ticket
   • Useful to have an "overview.html" to top-level modules
2. Working on cluster tests in the background
3. Would be good to document scripts/tests for automated cluster tests
   • Frank's benchtool is helpful
   • Wiki pages with specific results is helpful
4. Having standing cluster for test would be helpful
5. Institutional distractions are becoming less

Scott

1. Finished delete tests
2. Documentation is wrapped up
3. Will be continuing performance testing tasks
4. Spent beginning of sprint getting up to speed
5. Worked on 3.7 patch
6. Sprint reflection
   • Did not get involved in coding until ~2pm
   • Would use the mornings to ramp on documentation, research, etc
   • Sprints are somewhat exhausting
   • Felt reluctant to ping others for Java tips
   • IRC can be distracting
   • Integration test documentation and tooling would be helpful
   • Standups may could be more trim (every other day?)
   • The role of documenting and fielding questions would be useful
