An update to the jenkins jobs and scripts used to test MPs is planned for Wednesday, April 2 at 13:00 UTC. There are some significant improvements coming as a result:
1) The new jobs and scripts are based on the same tools used to execute the daily smoke tests. This brings our CI infrastructure a step closer to a single common test environment. 2) The steps needed to reproduce the CI testing can now be reproduced with one command to provision and one command to execute the tests [4]. 3) Applications which are available as pre-installed click packages [5] will be installed and tested as click packages when testing on touch devices (no more installation as debian packages). The jenkins job names will change as a result, this will be visible in the MP comments. Note: desktop tests still require debian packages at this time. The pre-installed click packages: - lp:camera-app - lp:gallery-app - lp:notes-app Projects still installed as debian packages: - lp:address-book-app - lp:dialer-app - lp:friends-app - lp:mediaplayer-app - lp:messaging-app - lp:ubuntu-system-settings - lp:ubuntu-ui-toolkit - lp:unity8 - lp:webbrowser-app All of these projects have already been tested and are passing with the exception of 2 intermittent failed test cases. I'll be contacting those project teams directly to determine if migration is still appropriate at this time. The old jobs and scripts are not being removed. In the event that an unforeseen regression occurs, projects can be converted back on a per project basis.
