Hi all, I've seen the discussion about test on yesterday meeting and I would like to provide some feedback. (sorry for not attending, my ISP was upping my ADSL connection and I could not connect).
First, I'd like to fight the misconception that a test that does not add coverage does not add value. Wrong, not having coverage is bad, having two test that do cover the same cove may be good. For a convincing article on the subject, read http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-cq01316/ Interactive tests just pop up dull windows without providing any real check on the user side. It's just showtime, and if you look at them carefully you _may_ be able to spot rendering problems (that is, maps not rendered at all), but that's really all... Extensive tests are not exactly stress tests, they just add extra testing at a high price, and are there to spot obscure problems in the EPSG providers that may not be spot by normal tests afaik (Martin?). As for online tests, I don't think we want a single switch/profile. What if I have postgis and oracle, but not arcsde and mysql? I think we may want a profile, variable, whatever that allows us to cherry pick what we want to test. In the interest of full coverage, if we can setup a box that can test all data stores in an online fashion, then have a profile that just enables all data stores by raising all of the above flags.
