I just came across this: http://esite.ch/2012/06/26/writing-tests-for-vala/. It sounds very, very relevant. Comments?
Also, at work, we have a build server that kicks off a new build (and tests immediately thereafter) roughly every time someone pushes changes to the repo (sorry if that's not bzr terminology), which means we have a single base environment to perform our tests. It works fairly well except that we have 200+ people working on a single (C++--to make matters worse) project and colossal communication is required to keep everything out of a FUBAR state. However, an Elementary project probably doesn't have ~200 people working on it at once, so you might be able to copy/tweak our methodology without inheriting some of our headaches. I can elaborate more if desired. Thoughts? Sergey, that looks very interesting, although I'm a little confused--what are the differences between your first link and Glimpse?
