• Design

• Implementation

• Legal and Translation

• Beta

• GA

  • Focal Point Approvals

• Other Deliverables

General Instructions

The process steps occur roughly in the order as presented. Process steps occasionally overlap.

Each process step has a number of tasks which must be completed or must be marked as not applicable ("N/A").

Unless otherwise indicated, the tasks are the responsibility of the Feature Owner or a Delegate of the Feature Owner.

If you need assistance, reach out to the OpenLiberty/release-architect.

Important: Labels are used to trigger particular steps and must be added as indicated.

---

Prioritization (Complete Before Development Starts)

The (OpenLiberty/chief-architect) and area leads are responsible for prioritizing the features and determining which features are being actively worked on.

Prioritization

• [ ] Feature added to the "New" column of the Open Liberty project board

  • Epics can be added to the board in one of two ways:
  • From this issue, use the "Projects" section to select the appropriate project board.
  • From the appropriate project board click "Add card" and select your Feature Epic issue

• [ ] Priority assigned

  • Attend the Liberty Backlog Prioritization meeting

• ---

  Design (Complete Before Development Starts)

Design preliminaries determine whether a formal design, which will be provided by an Upcoming Feature Overview (UFO) document, must be created and reviewed. A formal design is required if the feature requires any of the following: UI, Serviceability, SVT, Performance testing, or non-trivial documentation/ID.

Design Preliminaries

• [ ] UI requirements identified. (Owner and UI focal point)
• [ ] ID requirements identified. (Owner and ID focal point)
  • Refer to Documenting Open Liberty.
  • Feature Owner adds label ID Required, if non-trivial documentation needs to be created by the ID team.
  • ID adds label ID Required - Trivial, if no design will be performed and only trivial ID updates are needed.
• [ ] Serviceability Requirements Identified. (Owner and Serviceability focal point)
• [ ] SVT Requirements Identified. (Owner and SVT focal point)
• [ ] Performance testing requirements identified. (Owner and Performance focal point)

Design

• [ ] POC Design / UFO review requested.
  • Owner adds label Design Review Request
• [ ] POC Design / UFO review scheduled.
  • Follow the instructions in POC-Forum repo
• [ ] POC Design / UFO review completed.
• [ ] POC / UFO Review follow-ons completed.
• [ ] POC Design / UFO approval requested.
  • Owner adds label Design Approval Request
• [ ] Design / UFO approved. (OpenLiberty/chief-architect) or N/A
  • (OpenLiberty/chief-architect) adds label Design Approved
  • Add the public link to the UFO in Box to the Documents section.
  • The UFO must always accurately reflect the final implementation of the feature. Any changes must be first approved. Afterwards, update the UFO by creating a copy of the original approved slide(s) at the end of the deck and prepend "OLD" to the title(s). A single updated copy of the slide(s) should take the original's place, and have its title(s) prepended with "UPDATED".

No Design

• [ ] No Design requested.
  • Owner adds label No Design Approval Request
• [ ] No Design / No UFO approved. (OpenLiberty/chief-architect) or N/A
  • Approver adds label No Design Approved
• [ ] Feature / Capability stabilization or discontinuation or N/A
  • Owner adds label Product Management Approval Request and notifies OpenLiberty/product-management
  • Approver adds label Product Management Approved (OpenLiberty/product-management)
  • Note: For stabilized, superseded, and discontinued feature/capability, skip the Beta section of the template (you may delete it). Otherwise, proceed as normal.

FAT Documentation

• [ ] "Feature Test Summary" child task created

  • Use the Feature Test Summary Template
  • Add FTS issue link to the Documents section.

• ---

  Implementation

A feature must be prioritized before any implementation work may begin to be delivered (inaccessible/no-ship). However, a design focused approach should still be applied to features, and developers should think about the feature design prior to writing and delivering any code.
Besides being prioritized, a feature must also be socialized (or No Design Approved) before any beta code may be delivered. All new Liberty content must be inaccessible in our GA releases until it is Feature Complete by either marking it kind=noship or beta fencing it.
Code may not GA until this feature has obtained the "Design Approved" or "No Design Approved" label, along with all other tasks outlined in the GA section.

Feature Development Begins

• [ ] Add the In Progress label

Legal and Translation

In order to avoid last minute blockers and significant disruptions to the feature, the legal items need to be done as early in the feature process as possible, either in design or as early into the development as possible. Similarly, translation is to be done concurrently with development. Both MUST be completed before Beta or GA is requested.

Legal (Complete before Feature Complete Date)

• [ ] Changed or new open source libraries are cleared and approved, or N/A. (Legal Release Services/Cass Tucker/Release PM).
• [ ] Licenses and Certificates of Originality (COOs) are updated, or N/A

Translation (Complete 1 week before Feature Complete Date)

• [ ] PII updates are merged, or N/A. Note timing with translation shipments.

Innovation (Complete 1 week before Feature Complete Date)

• [ ] Consider whether any aspects of the feature may be patentable. If any identified, disclosures have been submitted.

• ---

  Beta

In order to facilitate early feedback from users, all new features and functionality should first be released as part of a beta release.

Beta Code

• [ ] Beta fence the functionality
  • kind=beta, ibm:beta, ProductInfo.getBetaEdition()
• [ ] Beta development complete and feature ready for inclusion in a beta release
  • Add label target:beta and the appropriate target:YY00X-beta (where YY00X is the targeted beta version).
• [ ] Feature delivered into beta
  • (OpenLiberty/release-manager) adds label release:YY00X-beta (where YY00X is the first beta version that included the functionality).

Beta Blog (Complete 1.5 weeks before beta eGA)

• [ ] Beta blog issue created and populated using the Open Liberty BETA blog post template.

  • Add a link to the beta blog issue in the Documents section.
  • Note: This is for inclusion into the overall beta release blog post. If, in addition, you'd also like to create a dedicated blog post about your feature, then follow the "Standalone Feature Blog Post" instructions under the Other Deliverables section.

  GA

A feature is ready to GA after it is Feature Complete and has obtained all necessary Focal Point Approvals.

Feature Complete

• [ ] Feature implementation and tests completed.

  • Add label target:ga and the appropriate target:YY00X (where YY00X is the targeted GA version).
  • Inclusion in a release requires the completion of all Focal Point Approvals.

Focal Point Approvals (Complete by Feature Complete Date)

These occur only after GA of this feature is requested (by adding a target:ga label). GA of this feature may not occur until all approvals are obtained.

The Jakarta release plan is here: https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j.bean-validation/releases/3.1/plan Currently it looks like it just includes adding support for Records. The Rename to Validation is moving forward as well.

[njr-11]

Comments that were recorded from the Upcoming Feature Overview presentations, part 1:

• Slide 8: Consider whether the feature name should be beanValidation-3.1 to allow features to tolerate 3.1 or 3.0, versus whether to name it validation-3.1, which aligns with the rename of the specification.

• Slide 16: Language server updates are needed for the new usage patterns in Validation 3.1

• Slide 20: Also include the specification project information because it is also open source.

• Slide 23: mention that @Valid on CrudRepository or BasicRepository type variable for the entity will be covered in combined system test with Jakarta Data

• Slide 27: remove L3 queue information from the serviceability slide
