Alan Conway commented on QPID-5307:
-----------------------------------

There is a test framework in brokertest.py that makes it easy to write tests 
that start brokers and does some checks at shutdown to ensure brokers exit or 
not as expected. Its used by ha_test.py which adds support for starting 
clusters. You can see examples of tests in ha_tests.py. (not ha_test.py and 
ha_tests.py are different files, could be better named...)

> Change test scripts to cross-platform language

> The C++ tree's test suite drivers are primarily shell scripts. Many were 
> duplicated as Windows PowerShell scripts along the way. However, not all 
> scripts were PowerShell-ized, and the dual set of test scripts is not 
> maintained in sync. Someone (Cliff?) suggested a while back that the test 
> driver scripts be written in a common language across Linux and Windows, and 
> for other platforms as well.
> Python, Perl, Ruby are all possible choices - python and ruby need to be on 
> build systems anyway for code generation. What do people think about a) this 
> idea in general, b) language to use?
