[Gluster-users] Gluster Summit BOF - Testing

[Jonathan Holloway]

Hi all,

We had a BoF about Upstream Testing and increasing coverage.

Discussion included:
 - More docs on using the gluster-specific libraries.
 - Templates, examples, and testcase scripts with common functionality as a 
jumping off point to create a new test script.
 - Reduce the number of systems required by existing libraries (but scale as 
needed). e.g., two instead of eight.
 - Providing scripts, etc. for leveraging Docker, Vagrant, virsh, etc. to 
easily create test environment on laptops, workstations, servers.
 - Access to logs for Jenkins tests.
 - Access to systems for live debugging.
 - What do we test? Maybe need to create upstream test plans.
 - Discussion here on gluster-users and updates in testing section of community 
meeting agenda.

Since returning from Gluster Summit, some of these are already being worked on. 
:-)

Thank you to all the birds of a feather that participated in the discussion!!!
Sweta, did I miss anything in that list?

Cheers,
Jonathan

I'm putting my name on Niels' request for a presenter on Practical Glusto 
Example here on the main thread to get it in the hat. 

"Practical Glusto example 
- show how to install Glusto and dependencies 
- write a simple new test-case from scratch (copy/paste example?) 
- run the new test-case (in the development environment?)" 

I would classify the theme as "5. Process & infrastructure." 

If there is additional interest in discussion on other specific features of 
Glusto, maybe also separate lightning talk(s) or similar? 

Cheers, 
Jonathan

Hey Niels and Vijay,

I'm working out details, but put me down for a Practical Glusto demo.
