Core chain and contract development

• Development of Foundation-led FIPsBug fixes and minor (non-FIP and non-Project) feature improvements

QA of core chain and contracts

• QA for all FIPsbugs fixes and minor feature improvements

• 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
