Our Hudson jobs fail when Jmeter samplers do. I'm not sure if that's part of the plug-in or some supporting code we wrote for it though. We do have an XSLT transform on the jmeter XML output to generate a readable report, so we may have slipped some logic for that in there.
We have a suite of functional tests we've developed for our web application, and we kick it off whenever a new build is deployed to our integration machines. Seems to work pretty well. We're currently experimenting with HP Quality Center for coverage tracking, but personally I don't like it very much. -- Bruce Ide flyingrhenqu...@gmail.com
