Issue #3915 has been updated by Ken Barber.

No idea. I'd say its easier though to run tests in a chroot environment with 
CPAN modules - so I would imagine its not as much of a problem. Looks like now 
CPAN is largely tested by bots anyway:

Puppet stuff on the other hand often needs a full environment with root access 
as well to prove things work as intended. I think generally the problem of 
testing puppet is a big factor here :-). 

I would say for now volunteers would have to just be careful and read code 
before execution - and just never test on their own desktops our prod systems 
:-). Virt envs would be best so you can roll them back periodically.

Feature #3915: System should provide testing and validation workflow

Author: Ken Barber
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: Igal Koshevoy
Category: module site
Target version: 
Keywords: 
Branch: 
Affected URL: 


CPAN has a testing workflow - so upon package submission volunteer testers can 
provide feedback on test runs:

http://search.cpan.org/~kbarber/DotLock-1.06/
http://www.cpantesters.org/distro/D/DotLock.html#DotLock-1.06

This is provided as an automatic service to module developers and users - so 
upon uploading a new revision testers find and run the tests when they have 
time.
