RSNA2012 Planning

Process

We are following the release schedule documented during the 4.2 release planning session. The following tables describe the target behavior for the RSNA 2012 courses and booth.

• Adopt-a-demo program
  • For the demos and tutorials listed below, the roles of developer and clinical contact are:
    • clinical expert who is responsible for the data and content of the tutorial and can answer questions about how the program is meant to work. This person should be providing the data and in some cases provides a step by step tutorial.
    • developer / tester
      • is the point of contact if anyone finds that the demo in question does not work correctly
      • is responsible for testing that the functionality is working for the demo on all platforms (mac, windows, linux). If you do not have the platform available yourself, you will need to offer to trade some work with another person who has access to the platform. You cannot just ignore testing just because you don't have ready access to all the platforms!
      • needs to get a working familiarity with the demo and investigate any incorrect or unworkable behavior
      • needs to file bug reports and track down appropriate developer resources to get issues resolved (pester your fellow developers as needed so that issues are addressed).
  • If there's a tutorial already existing, the developer should be able to go through the testing on all platforms and only contact the tutorial writer with feedback or questions. In the case of demos or atlas datasets, the developer should discuss with the clinical contact about what functionality should be supported and test that this is working as expected on all platforms.
  • In all cases the developer should try to provide a test that loads and manipulates the data, using either a python script or Qt testing, to help automate the testing process for future releases.
  • Developers should consider following these instructions for writing a python self test so that they can easily and reproducibly confirm that demos are running correctly on all platforms.
