Goals
- Consolidation of our testing process, and infrastructure.
- Consolidation of custom test frameworks (Test Dashboard, AC/Profiler test server, variants).
- Reuse of Test Project framework (ASF, reporting, etc.) and tools (AGR, JUnit, etc.).
- Automatic test execution and report generation with every build (BVT).
Benefits
- Specialization of testing skills (e.g. builds).
- Provide an infrastructure that makes it easy for committers to contribute automated test cases/suites.
- Manual labor savings by using automated tests, which are automatically executed with every build.
- Decrease time/cost to resolve defects since uncovered earlier in the code-test-build cycle.
- Decrease testing overlap by a) localizing test executing and reporting to one group and b) using code coverage statistics.
