[Red5] test-plan / check-list / standard-cases for releasing/testing Red5?

[Sebastian Wagner]

yes okay but also if you support multiple client side technologies,
somewhere you need to start testing.
Saying *the field/technologies we use/allow is too wide lets wait 'till
somebody comes and complains about xyz* will not solve problems and bring
red5 to a more stable state.

So if you start a standard scenario in any (AS3 or AS2 or OpenLaszlo) and
build a sample based on Java5 or Java6 that should be sufficient to get
started. Later on you can port that to your needs but you got at least a
standard case which IS working.

Other testing areas would be then OS specific/related areas, this is not
connected to any technology question. If the standard case does run on all
qualified  Plattforms (I guess you test osx, win, Linux) then it will run no
matter if its AS2 or AS3 or any other technology.

Later on you maybe have the chance to do that automatically by ant/JUnit
like for example in the OpenLaszlo build process. Cause no one will do
endless checks like on that list by hand:

after each update.

But there is a need for something to verify that features are working and to
get structure in the test-release thing.

>> hi,

>> What do you think? Should be no problem to build that on top of one of the

>> Based on that there could be a check-list which is tested before every

>>
>>
>> The thing is that I always run in a lot of different Issue's using red5.
>> And instead of searching for:
>> *Is it my custom-app fault* or *Is it a Bug inside Red5*
>>
>> Some standard cases to check functionality could make it more easy to

>> also makes it more easy to refer to them if something is broken.
>>
>>
>> what do you think?
