As for testrepository - if you have positive experience using this tool, share them, from my point of view it has very bad UX.
+1, but with the caveat that testr and its compatriots (e.g. subunit) appear to have been optimized for automation of huge test suites and CI contexts. That's a reasonable thing to be but I think focusing on that side of things has been to detriment of the human/developer benefits that happen as a result of writing and running tests. This is something I'd love for us (people who make OpenStack), as a shared culture, to address.
Please consider trying py.test [2], i bet you will notice difference in reporting, and maybe will use it yourself for day-to-day test executions. Additionally there is very good system for parametrizing tests and writing extensions.
I'm with you on this. I love py.test. The user experience for a human, doing active development, is rather nice indeed. The difficulty, of course, is that there's been a very large investment in tools that rely on a particular form of test discovery that as far as I can tell py.test doesn't want to play with. If we can overcome that problem...disco. -- Chris Dent tw:@anticdent freenode:cdent https://tank.peermore.com/tanks/cdent _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
