Backlog Grooming Sprint 38

Sprint Goal

Goal: Take 1 additional week to work on critical performance improvements.

Timeline: Publish a Release Candidate by end of day Tuesday 31 Oct 2017 1 Nov and begin a code freeze then, conduct full Regression Testing starting 2 Nov 2017, issue additional Release Candidates only if needed, and publish a final Release by end of Sprint 8 November 2017.

Critical Performance Improvements

  • OLMIS-3318 - Getting issue details... STATUS  (#3) (Team Parrot continue, Nick will reach out to discuss)
  • OLMIS-3346 - Getting issue details... STATUS  (#4) (Team ILL will take it on, document, and then share)
  • OLMIS-3182 - Getting issue details... STATUS  (Team ILL - Nick)
  • anything else?

Next Priorities (until 1 Nov 2017)

  • Regression Tests will be executed on Monday (even though it's not the official Release Candidate; Sam Im (Deactivated) and Joanna Bebak (Deactivated) will determine who is needed to assist in regression testing).
  • Rollover tickets (Team Parrot has 2 In Review and 1 In Progress; Team ILL has 2 In Review and 8 Total roll-overs)
  • Performance:
    • OLMIS-3320 - Getting issue details... STATUS  (#9)
      • Q: Do we want to add performance test for /forConvert endpoint?
    • OLMIS-3362 - Getting issue details... STATUS  (#13) (Team ILL - Nick may have already fixed it; Sam Im (Deactivated) will add to regression to add a test case)
  • Bugs:
    • OLMIS-3438 - Getting issue details... STATUS
    • OLMIS-3396 - Getting issue details... STATUS
    • OLMIS-3357 - Getting issue details... STATUS
    • OLMIS-3394 - Getting issue details... STATUS
    • OLMIS-3404 - Getting issue details... STATUS  (Team Parrot - please propose a suggested error message, since we believe the user will need to delete their requisition and re-initiate later when configured correctly)
    • Re-Authentication issue during Showcase 24 Oct 2017; it happened on the video screen-sharing during showcase, please see if that issue can be re-produced and if so file it as a bug with Steps to Reproduce (Team Parrot)
  • Publish Release Candidate
    • Team Parrot (make your own tickets for this):
      • Release each component with CHANGELOGs, minus CCE components (CCE service and CCE UI do not need to be included) by 1 Nov 2017
    • Team ILL:
  • anything else?

During Release Process / Code Freeze (starting 1 Nov 2017 end-of-day)

During Code Freeze period, we will only allow commits that are for release-critical bug fixes, and we will reject/revert all other commits.

  • Manual regression testing
  • Work only on bugs identified as critical issues for release (approved by Team ILL triage team)
  • Publish additional Release Candidates (RC2, RC3, etc only if needed)
  • Commits to CHANGELOGs and Release Notes
  • Commits that fix code formatting (whitespace, in-line documentation)
  • Add and edit code in test/, integration-test/ and contract tests
    • it is okay to add test coverage; but do not delete tests or change existing tests/contracts 
    • Sonar: can we get all our quality gates to pass? This would be mostly changes in tests, not in the code itself.
  • Videos and group conversations on topics such as DRY, automated testing, etc.
  • Manual UI Performance testing (Team ILL)
  • Write documentation
  • NO: Fix CCE bugs. (Since CCE is not part of 3.2.1 release is it okay to keep working on that component)
