From tcornwel@cv3.cv.nrao.edu Mon Aug 21 17:19:35 2000 Date: Mon, 21 Aug 2000 17:13:22 -0600 From: Tim Cornwell To: Debra Shepherd , gtaylor@cv3.cv.nrao.edu, smyers@cv3.cv.nrao.edu, julvestad@cv3.cv.nrao.edu Cc: George Moellenbrock , Athol Kemball , Tim Cornwell Subject: Analysis of AIPS++ defects [ The following text is in the "iso-8859-1" character set. ] [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set. ] [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ] Following some feedback from Jim on the misgivings with which the testers evidently regard the October release date, I thought it would be useful to look at the results of the AIPS++ testing as measured by the defect system. I went through and looked at all defects submitted by Debra and Greg (including ones prior to this round of testing). The summary is given at the end of this message. The score so far is: Debra: ------ Problems: submitted: 23 fixed: 21 Enhancements: submitted: 7 done: 3 Greg: ----- Problems: submitted: 10 fixed: 6 Enhancements: submitted: 3 done: 0 Having looked at these problems and enhancement requests, I believe that all but one or possibly two will definitely be fixed by the time of the release. The exception is the combination of measurement sets in imager, something that is probably not vital if the filler is used to concatenate measurement sets on filling. So, judged just from the defect database, I believe that we've been doing well at keeping the number of active defects under control. The absolute number of defects found is about 0.5 per day per tester. I should note that useability issues are not addressed by this analysis (except perhaps by the enhancement requests), and that this may well be an issue that we should concentrate on. The key development forthcoming soon is Athol's map tool that I believe will at least change the perception of this point, if not actually resolve it. We also can look carefully at the documentation.
