During Josh Berkus' presentation at the JPUG PostgreSQL Conference, I
was particularly struck by the fact that 8.1 had a shorter beta period
than previous releases, rolled out on time, and enjoyed a longer period
before the first post-release bug was reported. The PostgreSQL Build
Farm played a key role in making these possible. (Thanks again, Andrew!)
Something that has been briefly discussed in the past wrt PostgreSQL has
been unit testing to complement the current regression tests. I've taken
a very quick google to see what's out there for C unit testing
frameworks. The ones I found are:
Check (GPL)
GNU Autounit (GPL)
CuTest (GPL? zlib/libpng?)
CUnit (GPL)
I do not know the scope of current testing, but I think the testing
should probably also including collecting and monitoring performance
metrics. This might be a thing to keep in mind when choosing a
particular unit testing framework.
