Description Steffen Pingel CLA 2010-06-27 02:14:40 EDT 
Sometimes test failures are detected late since tests only run nightly and not all committers monitor test results. It would be nice if mylyn.eclipse.org or build.eclipse.org was running a build job that would frequently poll cvs and execute a test suite when changes are commited. The suite would not need to run against all supported Eclipse or repository versions but should run a minimal, yet, meaningful subset of the tests to provide quick feedback.

I have setup a job that polls cvs every 15 minutes and executes the AllHeartbeatTests suite: http://mylyn.eclipse.org/hudson/job/mylyn--heartbeat/.

Since connector tests do take a long time on mylyn.eclipse.org (bug 318104) these run in a separate job that polls cvs every hour and executes the AllConnectorHeartbeatTests suite: http://mylyn.eclipse.org/hudson/job/mylyn--heartbeat--connectors/. The suite runs all Bugzilla and Trac tests but only against the latest stable version, i.e. Bugzilla 3.6 and Trac 0.12. Both heartbeat jobs run against Eclipse 3.6.

I encourage everyone to subscribe to these jobs either using the Mylyn Hudson connector (more details soon) or through the RSS feed:

Removed Trac 0.9.6 which is now 4 years old from the test fixture to speed up tests and to lower maintenance overhead. If anyone is still running Trac 0.9.6 we can always easily add this back.
