At the moment I think we have a quality control problem for 2.4.x, yet I
find it hard to justify spending much time on writing test cases because
that stuff is run so rarely. How many tests proposed in 2.4.x STATUS
have had a full test suite run? I certainly don't always do it. But if
we get the tests running all the time automatically it's much easier to
see a return on investment for improving test coverage.
I see there's already a buildbot job for httpd trunk:
https://ci.apache.org/waterfall?tag=httpd-trunk
It seems this build job is configured to run a compile but it does not
run the test suite? Putting Github/Travis questions aside, an easy way
to get automated tests going with minimal effort today could be to run
the existing tests inside httpd's existing buildbot job.
Infra is in the midst of setting up a new buildbot 2 service with
automated builds sort of like what travis does. It's not ready for prime
time just yet, but within a month or so, we should be able to directly
configure and trigger dynamic builds/tests via a yaml file in our repo.
The Subversion project has been doing this for years.
