Uh. Yes well... The next week this is no problem, after that I have vacation and I only have access to these machines from my office so I would one check per week or so... I'm not going to stay in office the whole week on my vacation ;) Maybe I can get one or more co-workers of mine doing some tests on our machines - in this case it should be no problem to give daily feedback on workdays. If I think of the mood of my co-workers this is on so far, they _really_ want a running PHP ;) > I have an AIX box available, but it doesn't actively run php - it's a > DB-backend, so only compilation issues I could track down. > > I think that for many platforms we don't even have a person let alone two > (if there we're 2 QA's to be done). I think more easy, automatically runnable test-cases would be a great thing to get more people do QA-Jobs and to increase the frequency of QA: - people compile PHP with their options - a script is called that does tests for the various extensions (create a picture, save it to disk, md5it ; parse in xml file in an array, diff the result ; parse an xml file with xsl ; query a demo database ; bla ; bla ; bla) - the results incl. OS-string, make, automake, balblabla-version are written into an plain-text or xml-file or are sent to a server (the user should have the option to choose, as the machines i'm working on have no connection to the internet for example) where it is parsed back and written into an easyly queryable database for the qa people.
