Depends on your testing purpose. If you are testing to ensure that at least one configuration works ( different drivers are not the focus )
then the testing is going to concentrate on the semantics of the operating system - which is the
first place you want the bugs out.
A sensible test manager will start single component and once a threshold of confidence
has been achieved IF the product has multiple devices and different configurations
The probability that the testing paths taken by two different users with the same end
objectives are the same tends to zero on a multi-threaded kernel quickly, even faster
with a UI being the main driver of I/O ( instead of API ).
I suspect the testing objective IS to ensure that the remaining bugs in the OS
are taken out as quickly as possible. To do this you have to expose the OS to
different user, application developer and tinkerer personalities.
There would be a secondary motive of reducing support costs ( boohoo my ATI radeon
doesnt work .... ) until the host of the beta is ready.
I think they are being very sensible, its a good testing strategy. Microsoft has
to adopt a different strategy because there already are a myriad of different
existing configurations out there for their GPOS software - more than they can
afford to simulate in house.
PS: I probably know as much, if not more as you do about testing Corpse ;-) |
