Hi!

Recently I have started apache-swat project
https://github.com/melezhik/apache-swat , thanks to Bill
for supporting my first attempt -
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/201601.mbox/%3CCACsi253b6=vufvyrw3j0ixyhmgruzlyy1+ufrenaxfkd+re...@mail.gmail.com%3E

As being newbie in apache project I'd be glad to get a feedback from
apache developers

* is it clear what apache-swat is?
* is it useful / helpful ?
* what things could be improved

About apache-swat in few words.

* apache-swat is test suites base to be run on local developer's environment
* test suites is on per issues basis, issues taken by me ( in almost )
random  ) mode from https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/ and get converted
into test scenarios
* everyone is encourage create new tests for existed or new issues
* apache-swat  tries to be as irrelevant as possible to your local
environment so allow tests suite installation / configuration process
with minimal efforts , a minimal conventions on your local environment
are:

 - you have perl  ( almost any version )
 - you have cpan or cpanm ( to install swat cpan module )
 - you have git to checkout tests suite from
https://github.com/melezhik/apache-swat
-  you have vanilla apache installed according
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/en/install.html or
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/install.html
 - and then you follow a simple instruction to bootstrap apache-swat tests suite

* tests sites could be run in whole chunk ( all tests ), just say:

  $ swat

* or you may run a certain test of your interest , mostly this is per
issue tests, for example:

 $ swat  -t 58854 # run tests for issue
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58854


Contributing to apache-swat:

* git fork
* write new tests for issue - t foo-bar-baz
* make github MR


Existed issues list covered by apache-swat

44221
46751

I have posted an information about apache-swat tests suite existence
to  proper Bugzilla issue pages.


Thanks in advance
