Test Plan for Apache OpenNLP 1.6.0

This page contains the test plan for the 1.6.0 release.

The 1.6.0 release introduces API changes.

Apache OpenNLP 1.6.0 requires Java 1.7.

Compatibility Test with OpenNLP 1.5.0 SourceForge Models

The 1.5.0 SourceForge models must be fully compatible with the 1.6.0
release. In this test all the English models are tested for compatibility
on the English 300k sentences Leipzig Corpus. It is tested that
the output produced with the same model by both versions has the same md5 hash.

Load: the time in seconds to Apache OpenNLP took to load the model.
Avg: the average throughput of the module, in sentences per second.

Note: Test was done on MacBook Pro 15", 2 GHz Core i7, 16GB Ram, 500GB HD running OS X 10.10.1
and Java 1.7.0_71-b14. The performance varies because light weight tasks have been performed in the background while testing.

Note: "Concurrent" in the comment means that both tests where started at the same time.

Regression Test Training with (private) English data

The training of both versions with the same data must produce
a model with identical output. The model output is tested with
the procedure from the previous test.

To pass the test the event hash and the model output must be identical.

Component	Model	Tester	Passed	Comment
Sentence Detector	en-sent.bin	Jörn	Yes	RC2
Tokenizer	en-token.bin	Jörn	Yes	RC2
POS Tagger	en-pos-maxent.bin	Jörn	Yes	RC2

Parser	en-parser-chunking.bin	Jörn	No	RC2

Note: Time was measured with the time command, the value is the "real" time value.

Performance test with public data

Test the tagging performance with all the publicly available training
and test data for various languages.

It is assumed that the training will be done with a cutoff of 5 and 100 iterations,
if different values are used please write them into the comment.

Automated Evaluation Testing

The Conll 2002 tests for example can be run with this command:

mvn test -DOPENNLP_DATA_DIR=~/opennlp-test-data/ -Dtest=Conll02*

Test UIMA Integration

The test ensures that the Analysis Engine can run and not not
crash trough simple runtime time code errors. We need to add
more sophisticated testing with the next releases.

Notes about testing

Compatibility tests

The following commands can be used to reproduce the compatibility tests with Leipzig corpus.

# Corpus preparation: the following command will create documents from the corpus. Sed is used to remove the language prefix

sh bin/opennlp DoccatConverter leipzig -data ../eng_news_2010_300K-text/eng_news_2010_300K-sentences.txt -encoding UTF-8 -lang en | sed -E 's/^en[[:space:]]//g' > ../out-tokenized-documents.test

# Corpus preparation: this forces the detokenization of the documents

sh bin/opennlp SentenceDetectorConverter namefinder -data ../out-tokenized-documents.test -encoding UTF-8 -detokenizer trunk/opennlp-tools/lang/en/tokenizer/en-detokenizer.xml > ../out-documents.test

# Now the actually tests. Execute it for the previous release and for the current RC. Compare the output using diff:
