friends do it differently…

AStudy to identify thetestingculture of theEclipse community

Participate to identify testing best practices andpitfalls!

And we contributed!

How to test plug-ins?

Which tools should I use?

Is continuous integration enough?

Is unit testing enough?When can I stop testing?

What happens to the tests during a refactoring?

Who is responsible for testing?

Where do I find test guidelines?

When to use PDE tests?

Integration Testing?

What is the study’s aim?The study aims to shed light on the testing culturewithin the Eclipse community, and to identify bestpractices and pitfalls. The results of the study willbe compiled and made available, and form afoundation for improving testing within Eclipse.

Who are we looking for?We are looking for Eclipse plug-in developers and testers, as well as for developers and testers of Rich Client Platform applications.

What happens to the data?All individual interviews will be treated asconfidential. The results will be shared withparticipants, and some anonymized informationmay be used in academic papers or otherpublications.

How to participate?The study involves participating at an one hourinterview, in most cases done via phone or Skype.Interested? Send an email to [email protected].
