Hello everyone,
I have prepared a roadmap for 1.0.0.Beta1 as a set of sprints: https://issues.jboss.org/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=181&view=planning
The Beta1 release should focus on polishing what is currently Warp core:
- documentation
- guide
- showcase samples
- ftest documentation
- interopetability issues
- Jacoco
- Servlets 2.5
- huge request/response payloads
- some outstanding issues
- reusing manager during whole test
- improving usability and debuggability
Namely, this release won't add any new features,
because after releasing Beta1, we should be ready for releasing Warp CRs/Final.
So where should go all the new features?
There are plenty of new feature requests (opening new possibilities) - they will be addressed in upcoming minor releases - 1.1, 1.2, ...
but the prototyping work can start right now and in some cases it already started (e.g. SeamTest migration).
I'm also looking forward for upcoming integrations and their improvements:
- REST (led by Jakub Narloch)
- Portlets (led by Ken Finnigan)
- Spring MVC (led by Jakub Narloch)
- ...
How can you help?
This release gives a lot of opportunity to variety of contributors:
- natural writers
- we will create a high-level outline what the documentation should contain
- so anyone can pick and author the guide
- creative graphic authors
- the Warp would deserve own logo
- and presentation graphics
- early adopters
- Warp is Alpha2 now, but it is stable...
- thanks to its test suite
- and high-level API is locked!
- still we need to know where is a place for improvement
- code crunchers
and as always:
- X-framework fans
- when you miss hooks for framework X, come to us and make the future for X's testing happen
