Well, I normally just report status on my testing page, but it's complex enough these days that I think I'll elaborate in a blog post.

Max has made extensive changes to our table rendering code so that it supports much more of the CALS table model. Unfortunately, turning on new features has consequences for some tables in our existing content. I've gone through to see how extensive the damage may be, and how much work we might have to do to bring existing tables "up to code".

Until recently, the "serverdiff" script has only been used to compare citadel with cnx. We keep needing something like it for other circumstances too, though, so I'm gradually upgrading it.

As I've worked more with Selenium, I've become more confident that we can do substantial testing with it. We can at least use Selenium for developer acceptance testing, to catch obvious mechanical problems before the new code gets to the human testers.

The "high-points test" is for touching every feature once and making sure its basic mechanism is intact. This includes submitting and accepting a patch, for instance, but not testing every control and combination of controls, or testing a variety of patch content.

Altova has come out with yet another service pack covering Authentic, XMLSpy, and StyleVision, so I'm doing some general Windows maintenance while I'm having to deal with the Altova upgrades anyway.

Tuesday I took a detour into script maintenance when I got annoyed at how long it took to do data syncs.
