QA@Alfresco : whitebox testing?

[zinkfish]

Hello there,

As part of my research on 'QA in open source projects' , I'm looking at QA practices/testcases/test-tools used by the Alfresco project.
(I must say I'm impressed by the professional approach to QA @ Alfresco , complete with test plans,testcases, schedules, etc.)

____________________________________
I found some information from these links:

I've concluded that QA@Alfresco is primarily black-box testing, built around the usage of Mercury QT pro. Is this conclusion correct?

Some questions:
1. Can I access test reports someplace?
2. Does Alfresco use developer-level test frameworks (Junit etc?)
3. Have you evaluated/used other open source/commercial  automated bug detection tools (Findbugs etc)?
4. Have you evaluated/used other open source testing frameworks, like Selenium?

Lastly:
5. Are there any docs around Whitebox testing@Alfresco? (overall plan, code-level test requirements, etc)

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Thanks for your interest in the QA activities of Alfresco!

If you grab the source you'll find a whole load of dev unit tests for the alfresco repository.

We have tried to use some of the automated 'bug finding' tools, but we ended up spending more time weeding out the false negatives than acting on any potential issues they found. In the end we stopped using them.

I've evaluated several of the open source test frameworks.
We do use JMeter to conduct some simple load tests when we want to pinpoint any areas that might be under performing or when we have a suspected memory leak.
I am also currently looking at what there is for test case management that is open source.

Send me a private massage if you need any more info.

Steve
Alfresco QA Manager.

I believe I'm looking for the same thing.  I'd like to add multiple instances of comments. Since documents will have multiple reviewers, and may go through iterations of reviews, I would like to store multiple comments instead of one very long comment that everyone adds to.

Am I correct that this isn't possible?
