Our QA stopped using Icarus for these long runs, in case they do it
again can you provide the way to run it so that a dump is created?
That is the point, we are not sure where is the problem - in the
runner or in the Host.
The test runs for a long time, because it performs scenario based
testing of a distributed product, involving the client (i.e. the unit
test), the server and multiple agents. The duration of a test is
determined by the specific scenario. First we tried short runs, now
we are trying longer runs to see that all the agents work well with
the server. The client does nothing while the agents are working and
reporting stuff to the server. When a certain timeout expires (a few
days or even weeks) the client may need to instruct the agents to
stop. Or it can start new runs, or it can cause an agent to fall,
testing failure recovery. In short, it is very useful to be able to
run long tests.

Icarus was never really intended for that purpose. On the other
hand, I'm sure improvements could be made. Could you provide a dump
file from one of the crashes? Echo should be better (I've never
tried it), unless it's the Host process that's getting too big. Why
do you need to have tests running that long?

Hi.
We developed a framework on top of Gallio MbUnit to run scenario based
tests. Right now our QA team has problems leaving Gallio.Icarus open
for a long time - they claim it takes too much CPU and memory and
eventually crashes.
My question is whether using Gallio.Echo will solve this problem of
high resource utilization and eventual crashes? Or is there another
way to run long tests. By long I mean days and even weeks.
BTW, I am not sure whether the problem is in the runner or in the host
process - Gallio.Host. My hope is that someone has already encountered
these issues and can spare me the time of checking all of this myself.
Thanks.
