10 12 2022 Meeting

• New Members

• Emily Merrill (Harvard)
• Hoang Pham (Tufts)

• Structural changes coming for v12.4 LTS core

• Tighter integration with REDRSVC committee
• Adam D. meeting with Theresa B. and Chris B. on Friday to get machines configured (Docker, Cypress, etc.)
• Planned: Committee writes gherkin, ATS team becomes technical arm of RCTF
• This was strategy proposed a while back. Theresa is now leading and onboard. So is Chris.
• Still a bit of an experiment. Will have to see how this goes.

• Impact of structural change on v11.1.5 LTS core

• Plan to keep moving forward with current structure for this release
• Should be able to cover 90% of possible Step Definitions needed to write the Gherkin for LTS v12
• Whatever we do for 11.1.5 might be carried on for next version

• Changes to RCTF since last meeting

• Those of you working on tests will want to rebase or merge against latest version of v11.1.5
• Upgraded Cypress to v10.9.0 - completely new framework debug screen
• Significant adjustments to Cookies / Session operation
• Allow you to login once and hold that session until you logout OR need a different user
• If you have a BACKGROUND statement at top of your scenarios, keep in mind that statement runs before EVERY scenario
• In many cases, you can remove the background statement unless there's a good reason to keep it
