What is this "testServer" you are talking about? I searched this forum a little bit but didn't find any information on it.
I write web-apps in Django for Google App Engine, and my current test suite for a project takes 45 seconds to run. This frustrates me because unit testing is (or, at least, should be) an easily distributed task (as good unit tests do not depend on each other). If Python would even simply use both cores of my main work computer, my tests would only take 23 seconds, and if it used all computers on my local network, it could take 5-10 seconds. This would be a huge saving for me. All of this to say I have been thinking about a 'test server' that would take a queue of tests, set up the proper environments on as many cores as it had available, and send out the tests, collect the responses and display them. Is this what you mean by 'testServer'? I have wanted to help Pharo, but being an un-skilled Smalltalk programmer, and having other Python-based projects that were more urgent, I haven't done much about it. However, this 'testServer' caught my eye, because I've been thinking about creating such a thing for my own Python-based use. Please let me know if what I propose is what you intend. If so I may be willing to try and create something for Pharo to use.
