Regression test failures - could not find entries in JDK Bug System

[Vitaly Provodin]

Hello,

My question relates to failures of the Regression tests (jdk/test) on OpenJDK8 and how to identify whether a failure is expected or not.

Running java/awt and javax/swing tests against OpenJDK8 on various platforms I got some failures. Trying to find any explanations for these failures I looked through the JDK Bug System and could not find any bugs explaining them, for example, for the following two tests

-java/awt/Frame/UnfocusableMaximizedFrameResizablity/UnfocusableMaximizedFrameResizablity.java

Failed.
Program `/Users/builduser/buildAgent/work/13ab0d4c51b0de0b/jbsdk/jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java' timed out (timeout set to 240000ms, elapsed time was 240786ms).

- javax/swing/JPopupMenu/6800513/bug6800513.java


Failed.
Execution failed: `main' threw exception: java.lang.Exception: popup class is: javax.swing.PopupFactory$HeavyWeightPopup, expected: javax.swing.PopupFactory$LightWeightPopup

I found out that these tests were excluded from runs against JDK 8 Update Releases Early Access Build (EAB) - see Test Results page at http://download.java.net/openjdk/testresults/8 <http://download.java.net/openjdk/testresults/8>. Please note, I do not know the status of these results, whether they are actual for OpenJDK8 final release or not. Also, I paid attention to that most of the failures I am talking about are  not included into jdk/test/ProblemList.txt as for now.

Supposing once these tests were excluded from runs, there were some causes for that e.g. some known product or test issues which were not intended to be fixed for this particular release. My question is how can I get to know these causes in order to differentiate expected and unexpected failures - any of these tests, which were excluded from EAB runs because of one issue, may fail because of another.

I tried to follow the link at Summary column placed on the page http://download.java.net/openjdk/testresults/9 <http://download.java.net/openjdk/testresults/9> and could not get information about statuses of the tests (similar to OpenJDK8). So another question, how can I get the list of regression tests (if any) which expectedly fail for some particular OpenJDK release?

Thanks,

Vitaly
