Comment #17 on issue 702 by [email protected]: Rerun failed tests
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=702
Just an additional idea, tying this concept, a (very) slightly different
way to look at it, and Jenkins.
The idea would be to parse the results from previous Jenkins test runs and
run failing tests first. I got this idea from this blog post:
http://michaelfeathers.typepad.com/michael_feathers_blog/2012/09/precognitive-build-servers.html
The capabilities could be built up in the follow order:
+ first, just to run tests that failed in the last Jenkins build
+ run failing tests first and then run the normal script
+ run tests that failed in the last N builds, where the user can specify N
Issues would be:
- if the test cases or specified test case pattern changed so that failed
test would no longer be run
- handling Jenkins matrix build jobs
- tests would need to be independent with test and suite setups and tear
downs as needed
The gather_failed_tests.py script with some additional scripting could be
used in the Jenkins test job to get an initial version of this to work.
