Personally, i hope i will find some time to seriously improve the testing framework on various levels. With PyPy, we begin to have lots of options and variants in testing our own code base, the standard python library's tests as well as testing translation targets and variants. I'd like to implement an approach that allows completely peer-driven testing and sending of reports to a central site where they can be queried according to os/processor/python. I intend to implement this in a PyPy neutral manner so that the numerous other users of py.test can reuse our efforts for their projects. Additionally, i'd like to have tests become interactively distributable to multiple machines (listed via ssh-account login information) from a single (possibly modified) working copy.
This reminds me of BuildBot: http://buildbot.sourceforge.net/ . Does it look relevant?
I know of buildbot but i think it has a different focus. It works with a central installation and it targets more general build processes whereas we would probably focus on detailed python testing and have it peer-driven so that everyone can contribute to gather information (which does obviously not exclude having servers which do it on a regular basis via cron or are triggered by svn-notification emails). cheers, holger
