Josh Elser commented on ACCUMULO-4423:
--------------------------------------
bq. I've been spending a bit of time in recent days playing around with what I
found in that TESTING.md and did run into some complications when trying to
point to my standalone cluster (like, at least on 1.7.2, an undocumented need
to include a accumulo.it.cluster.clientconf system property). Do you happen to
have any other documentation on getting tests running in standalone mode?
Hrm, [~mdrob] and I had chatted in IRC a few times on the matter too. Sounds
like there's some bit-rot happening? I think I have this automated at $dayjob,
let me cross-ref what is done there with the docs. This would be good to make
sure is documented.
bq. Once I have my mind around it sufficiently, I'd love to try contributing
something to make life easier for lazy engineers like myself (maybe starting
with clarifying some docs, but then hopefully extending options for how people
can run tests).
That'd be awesome! I'm going to go ahead and add you as a contributor so you
can be autonomous on JIRA :)

>
> Had a thought the other day when talking to some folks about testing.
> Our current integration tests can be broken down into two categories:
> * Encapsulated (MiniCluster only)
> * Capable of using a Standalone Accumulo instance (instead of a MiniCluster)
> with any ITs that don't have MiniClusters (if there are any), I am lumping
> them into the Encapsulated category.
> Now, if I have an environment set up which I can run these Standalone tests
> against, it would be nice to just be able to execute those tests. I could
> then run the unit tests, checkstyle, findbugs, and encapsulated integration
> tests out of band, not tied to the lifetime (and cost) of that environment
> for the Standalone tests.
> It would be nice if we can use something like JUnit categories to group these
> tests and then provide the "hooks" in the build to let users specify which
> categories are executed.
