QA for all FIPs
Devnet, Testnet, and Mainnet release testing
fio and fio.contracts automated testing
fio and fio.contract QA is covered by the fio.test javascript test harness. New automated tests are created for every new action, endpoint and feature added to the protocol. Full regression tests are run for every release.
...
All features, especially Mainnet features, do not have full regression tests
Testing lags development and impacts releases
Limited QA resources to develop automated tests
No time to focus on test harness architecture
QA not integrated into CI pipeline
Devnet release testing
Devnet release testing is currently done by the development team. It involves deployment and upgrade testing of fio and fio.contracts.
Testnet release testing
Testnet release testing currently consists of:
Running an automated smoketest against Testnet before and after deployment
Some manual testing of Testnet using Cryptonym
Some manual testing of features by development and product teams
Mainnet release testing
Mainnet release testing currently consists of:
Some manual testing of Mainnet using Cryptonym
Some manual testing of features by development and product teams
Release Management
Security
EOSIO compatibility and community support
