Konstantin Boudnik commented on BIGTOP-1608:
--------------------------------------------

You are making a good point Jay - running tests from the source code, e.g. in a 
script form is very convenient. We also need to have a way to publish test jars 
along with the released software stack, because the premise and the value-add 
of Bigtop was and is to guarantee that the software stack is validated with 
fist-class tests built for that particular stack. You can't do it with just 
source code - you have to have dependency and version management for that.

That said: for dev. purposes - running from source code is great. But we need 
to have a way to publish the jars as a part of the release. I believe Gradle 
should allow us to do both. Am I making sense?

> all smoke-tests should compile and use iTest as source, no jar.  Remove ITEST 
> env variable.

> If you try to run the smoke tests without setting {{BIGTOP_HOME}} they will 
> run and be unable to find tests, so nothing runs. This variable should be 
> added to checkEnv to make sure its present while running
