3. Weblinks updates

The migration to Chrome and Selenium Server 3 is ongoing.

Weblinks 3.6 will be released today.

4. JoomlaBrowser

(42000 installs) about 2000 more than last meeting.

No updates on dev branch. TA working on container-test, but basically I'm working on fine tuning it to get the full set of functionalities that Weblinks has right now, part of it following Jelle's job for the Joomla specific tests.

 

5. Selenium server standalone

(36000 downloads) about 1500 more than last meeting.

JK updated selenium to 3.2.0 and the IE webdrivers. New release 3.2. Next version 3.3 is coming soon (Already happened at the time writing)

6. Running system tests on Docker containers

TA / NB: Currently there is a working set of a single container-based tests for weblinks, using that container-test branch spread through the joomla-testing and weblinks repositories
and also Niels' virtualisation repository, which is on the works for creating a whole virtual environment for Joomla testing. TA goal for this month is to get the first test to actually run more than one container through the newly testing coordinator (which we talked about in Munich) so then it can be plugged into Niels' virtualisation for automating the environment

RD and YH: Drone 0.5 running since some weeks stable for parts of the core tests (JS + phpcs).. More to come.

7. Documentation

YH: Started organizing and updating the documentation on the automated testing team.
