Hi, The following patches will really help minesweeper: 1. Treat exceptions that are caused by parallel tests. This enables us to run parallel jobs (we have very promising results of running 8 parallel test jobs): https://review.openstack.org/#/c/70137/ https://review.openstack.org/#/c/65306/ https://review.openstack.org/#/c/69622/ 2. Improve test time considerably: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/70079/
One of the requirements for Nova is that each driver would provide CI that validate patches. If there was no CI then the driver would be marked as: - quality warning (for example the Vmware ESX driver) - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/70850/ - deprecation warning (for example the Xen driver) - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/71289/ Having met the requirements is the first step in a long and adventurous road ahead. As we can see from the gate upstream it is really important that we constantly work on improving the stability of the CI and the drivers that are being used. I would also like to note that we are approaching the end of the cycle - there will soon be a mad rush for gating. If we have stable CI's then we can provide quicker and more reliable results. Without these we are shooting ourselves in the foot. Thanks Gary On 2/6/14 2:38 AM, "Ryan Hsu" <r...@vmware.com> wrote: >Did you mean flags as in excluding tests?
