Workshop Proposal: Increasing the public quality bar at OpenJDK

[Martijn Verburg]

Hi all,

Workshop proposal: Increasing the quality bar for OpenJDK

OpenJDK today has a Jtreg based regression test suite which is very useful
but could be greatly enhanced by further tests and other test suites.
Greater test coverage of varying types could reduce the amount of custom
in-house testing (that all OpenJDK vendors currently have to go through) as
well as raise the 'minimum' quality bar for all OpenJDK builds. It would be
great to have a discussion on where the gaps are currently and how we
could best fill those as a community.

Length: short/long - not sure

brief biography (or link to same): AdoptOpenJDK has explored several ideas
including 3rd party containerized tests, performance tests, system
tests and more.  We can share our experiences and see if any of them could
be applied to OpenJDK.
