Closing as discussed.
> Define a minimal acceptance test suite for checkins
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DERBY-1116
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1116
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Test
> Reporter: David Van Couvering
> Priority: Minor
>
> Now that we have an excellent notification system for tinderbox/nightly
> regression failures, I would like to suggest that we reduce the size of the
> test suite being run prior to checkin. I am not sure what should be in such
> a minimal test, but in particular I would like to remove things such as the
> stress test and generally reduce the number of tests being run for each
> subsystem/area of code.
> As an example of how derbyall currently affects my productivity, I was
> running derbyall on my machine starting at 2pm, and by evening it was still
> running. At 9pm my machine was accidentally powered down, and this morning I
> am restarting the test run.
> I have been tempted (and acted on such temptation) in the past to run a
> smaller set of tests, only to find out that I have blocked others who are
> running derbyall prior to checkin. For this reason, we need to define a
> minimal acceptance test (MATS) that we all agree to run prior to checkin.
> One could argue that you can run your tests on another machine and thus
> reduce productivity, but we can't assume everybody in the community has nice
> big test servers to run their tests on.
> If there are no objections, I can take a first pass at defining what this
> test suite should look like, but I suspect many others in the community have
> strong opinions about this and may even wish to volunteer to do this
> definition themselves (for example, some of you who may be working in the QA
> division in some of our Big Companies :) ).
