It will not be performed on the Chrome/Fedora platform nor any of the Windows / OSX platforms mentioned above, but if issues in meeting the functional criteria are reported against those platforms, they may block the release. > > I think this is basically perfect. Thank you very much for putting this together, particularly the detailed rationale. The only thing I might change is "Manual testing will occur on the Firefox/Fedora platform" to "Mandatory testing will occur..." I for one keep several systems around for cross-compatibility testing and will most likely do regular spot-checks that things aren't completely broken on the non-Fedora platforms. I note this because the practical effect here will be that any of these combinations here may indeed block the release (but I'm perfectly happy not requiring anyone else to use those other systems for testing). > Discussion > ========== > > What Platform(s) Experience the Issue? > -------------------------------------- > > So basically we talked about how there's some different axes around browser support for a web app: > > 1) What specific browser is affected?

However, we are trying to expand our userbase which means being friendly to folks who run the most popular OSes - Windows and OS X. We wouldn't do manual testing of Windows or OS X, but we might care if an issue was submitted to us that made Cockpit unable to meet its functional criteria on that OS. Adam clarified (if I understand correctly) that having this as a criteria doesn't dictate manual testing. > > Summary > ------- > > With respect to tiers: > > Tier 1: > Firefox on Fedora > > Tier 2: > Chrome on Fedora > Firefox on Windows > Chrome on Windows > Firefox on OS X > Chrome on OS X > > Tier 3: > Anything else. > > > ~m > > > [1] https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2015-11-03/fedora-meeting-1.2015-11-03-16.00.html > > [2] http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp > _______________________________________________ > server mailing list > server@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/server -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
