None of those options sound like they'll help meet > those requirements. FWIW, I hacked up a Perl-based testing system as a proof of concept some time ago. I can dust it off if anyone is interested. Perl has a very nice testing ecosystem and is probably the most portable language we support, other than C. My quick goals for the project were: * allow granular testing (ala Andrew's recent email, which reminded me of this) * allow stackable methods and dependencies * make it very easy to write new tests * test various features that are way too diificult in our existing system (e.g. PITR, fdws) * get some automated code coverage metrics (this one was tricky) * allow future git integration based on subsytems - -- Greg Sabino Mullane g...@turnstep.com End Point Corporation http://www.endpoint.com/ PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 201401261211 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAlLlQeMACgkQvJuQZxSWSsiYhACggHJgQWB/Q2HEfjGZCwR3yEZg zMsAnAssOStAmMuaJEScCGHGKWYNow1v =zi0Y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
