  • 01/22 Code freeze for the endgame
  • 01/26 Endgame done
  • 01/31 Expected release date (this may change)
Monday
  • Check that all queries in this issue use the current milestone @aiday-mar
  • Run OSS tool @aiday-mar
  • Update links in the Endgame notebooks to point to new milestone @aiday-mar
  • Code freeze at 5pm PT
  • Ensure we have a green build on all platforms at 5pm PT
  • 🔖All closed feature-requests either have a verification-needed or on-testplan label
  • Create test plan items following the template here by 6pm PT
    • Remind the team that TPIs should be written so that anyone can test. If this is not feasible, then TPI authors should assign specific testers @aiday-mar
  • Update your availability for testing here - https://tools.code.visualstudio.com/team-manifest team
    • Update availability of testers in vacation (Check OOF section in the Internal Backlog Plan). Double check N/A testers. @aiday-mar
    • Remind team that in the event of sickness or overload with TPIs, to inform the endgame champ ASAP so items can be reassigned
  • Remind team to go through their fixed issues for the milestone and update repro steps for issues which require more detailed instructions.
Tuesday
  • Test plan items assigned (using https://tools.code.visualstudio.com/test-plan-items)
    • Run the tool multiple times to balance load if test items come in later and assignments are already made
    • Assigned to you
  • Test build starts at 7am CET
  • Test plan ready by 8am CET
  • Remind the team about the priorities
    • Tuesday should be dedicated exclusively to testing activities. Our goal is to ensure the completion of all Test Plan Items (TPIs) and subsequently proceed with the verification phase. Fixes or commits should be refrained from unless there are exceptional circumstances such as blocked TPIs or build-related issues. On Tuesday Redmond EOD, only blocked TPIs should remain open with a corresponding label blocked and status update comment in the issue.
    • Redmond members commence testing the TPIs authored by Zurich members, enabling them to address any feedback on the following day.
  • 🔖Testing
  • 🔖Verification needed
Wednesday
  • 🔖Testing
    • These remaining TPIs should be the ones that are currently blocked. Discuss during the standup and redistrubute assignments based on the TPI owner and the test coverage. For instance, if a TPI is owned by a member from Zurich and has not undergone sufficient testing, it will be reassigned to one of the Zurich team members.
  • Remind team members to triage issues found in testing and assign major issues that they intend to fix to the current milestone
  • 🔖Verification needed
Thursday
  • Make sure to have the insider build @aiday-mar
  • Pause scheduled insider builds (includes vscode.dev publishing) @aiday-mar
  • Fixing (self-assigned, milestone assigned)
    • Increased scrutiny sets in due to testing being completed. Fixes pose a much higher risk
    • Move issues to the next month that can be deferred
  • 🔖Verification needed
  • 🔖Verification
  • By Thursday EOD (Redmond), branch from main and release @aiday-mar
    • Branch following repositories to release/<x.y>
      • vscode
      • vscode-distro
      • vscode-dev
    • Localization: Run Update VS Code Branch build with release/* as the VS Code Branch parameter (it's the default so you shouldn't have to change anything)
    • Announce main is open for business and all issues on the current iteration are candidates and that the candidate release process is to be followed.
    • Build and manually release Insider from release/<x.y> branch for Code
    • Build and manually release Insider from release/<x.y> branch for vscode.dev (if there were vscode.dev candidates)
  • Build a stable build from release/<x.y> branch to ensure stable build is green @aiday-mar
  • Bump up the version in package.json on main - @aiday-mar
  • Create next milestone and ensure that it has a due date. The created milestone and its due date will be automatically synced across our repos @aiday-mar
Friday
