Using hudson/Jenkins as a QA Resource

[Kamal Ahmed]

Hi,
Is it possible to use our instance of hudson for Functional / QA type of tests ? so we have repeatability. I remember Haroon did some work with FITNESSE as well.
also can we get emails from the builds ? if they are being done nightly (or whatever schedule they have) . Since we are so few people we can leverage hudson to do the job of many.

Any thoughts on this ?

Thanks,
-Kamal.

Well, Hudson can run the tests automatically, but you still need to create the tests.

We have 4-5 QA members, that is a lot. But someone must take a lead to coordinate them to finish
the tasks.

Thanks,

Jian

if i can get access to hudson, i will at least start creating tests. While manually testing it in parallel.

Kamal, you should already have access to hudson:

http://build.kungfuters.com

As for emails, it is set to email anyone who committed code, but I can add specific emails to all builds if that is needed. Just let me know.

Thanks,

Hi Matt,

Yes i know i have login to the UI, but i am not sure without having a command line login, i can create / test tests, Hudson does have a CLI, would that work  in this case ? or would i check in groovy test cases in the maven repo.
The hudson instance i am using at work, does provide me with a "TEST"  version of main project, where i can submit unit tests.
But as far as testing Tellurium IDE UI , not too sure exactly how that would be handled.

so, would it be a good idea to have a Tellurium-test repository ? which is sync'd nightly with main Tellurium 0.8.0 , or is that being too complicated.

Thanks,
-Kamal.

I'm afraid you've gone over my head. =) I don't know much (anything) about the Hudson CLI...

-Matt

[Kamal Ahmed]

so can i have command line access ? (For Jian) and what about creating a Tellurium-test repo for QA purpose only.

Why not create a Maven project and create a build project on Hudson, then hudson will poll the project from SVN and run the tests automatically once there is any update or periodically dependent
on your hudson project configuration.

[Matt Senter]

I'm confused on the need. What tests are needed to run outside the normal build? We can add functional tests to the maven build where necessary...

-Matt

[Jian Fang]

The QA team want to create their own test suites for Tellurium IDE and Trump. I don't know if that could be automated or not.

[Matt Senter]

I see. Hmmm...I don't see how the CLI would solve that. I like Jian's idea of a separate maven project devoted to those types of tests. We could set up a dependency between the builds so that when Tellurium builds, Tellurium-Test builds afterward.

main reason are:
1. Not to break the main branch, and keep it prestine by only running unit and basic functional tests.
2. Use the QA branch / projct for performance testing/Functional Testing/ Somce experimentation, etc
3. Sync the DEV Code between the two regularly
4. Have a Central repository of tests that are created once run many, and results are generated automatically/regularly

our main focus would be to test Tellurium IDE
Thanks,

Then, you don't need to put your code into trunk and you can create a project under branches.
You can control which tests to run in Maven pom file. For example, all unit tests with surffix _UnitTest
and functional tests with surffix _FuncTest.

I will assign the code commit privilege to you.

Thanks,

Jian

[Jian Fang]

Ok, you have commit role now and please create a project under branches.

BTW, does anyone on the dev group want the commit role? Please let me know.

Thanks,

Jian
