i think we should only run minimal tests *by default* for each PR

then we can have jenkins interpret some specific bot commands (for 
example :bot:test:ibm/collective)

so additional tests can be performed *on demand*

Cheers,

Gilles

    Thanks for the idea. For IBM's internal CI that's similar to what we 
do (but I don't think we take advantage of the XML report - I'll mention 
that to our CI folks) - we run MTT for every internal PR. It takes a few 
hours per PR to complete though. I don't know how acceptable that is for 
the community, but we should talk about it. Maybe there is a subset of 
the ompi-tests repo that we can run in each PR then let full MTT runs 
test more throughly.

        Josh and all,

        an other or complementary idea is to use MTT from jenkins and 
with the
        junit plugin.
        iirc, the python client can generate a junit xml report, and 
fwiw, i
        made a simplistic proof of concept in the perl client.
        the idea is the junit jenkins plugins display a summary of all 
tests
        (ok, ko, skip) but also provides some tendencies (e.g. things 
are
        going better or worst)

        if we only want to use the junit plugin, an option is to have a
        "dummy" jenkins job that query results or download xml reports 
from
        the mtt server, so the results and tendencies can be displayed 
by
        jenkins

        Cheers,

        Gilles
