[PHP-DEV] Re: [PHP-QA] running tests in parallel?
Hi Thanks for the replies to this thread - I'll get on with it then :-) Zoe It's very important! Take a look at http://gcov.php.net A single build takes almost 2 days with most extensions enabled plus valgrind testing. So, yes, parallel testing would be highly appreciated (but do not forget my initial requirements, such as e.g. mysql and mysqli tests cannot run at the same time).

Hi Some years ago (in 2009) Stefan Priebsch, myself and a GSOC student worked on a version of run-tests.php which would run tests in parallel - I wrote about it here: http://zoomsplatter.blogspot.co.uk/2009/07/on-no-not-more-tests.html. The code was complete apart from finding some way to handle REDIRECT and does run faster on multi core systems but for various reasons we all ran out of time to work on it. I recently checked out the code and it still works, there are a few little things to be fixed, and of course REDIRECT still needs to be implemented. I have some free time now and would be happy to do this, however, I've been fairly out of touch with PHP since 2009, so before I get on and make this work: (a) Would it still be helpful if the tests could be run faster? (b) Has anyone come up with a better solution in the years since I looked at this?

Hi, 2012/5/3 zoe slattery aparac...@gmail.com: Hi Some years ago (in 2009) Stefan Priebsch, myself and a GSOC student worked on a version of run-tests.php which would run tests in parallel - I wrote about it here: http://zoomsplatter.blogspot.co.uk/2009/07/on-no-not-more-tests.html. I'm very glad you have free time to finish this :) I looked at source code recently, but was unable to see what was missing to get it running. I think I emailed you about this a year ago, then I moved to QA report project ;) Having tests running in parallel will be a huge improvement. Also having different output (like XML) will help for loading user feedbacks in http://qa.php.net/reports/ If you need any help on this, feel free to ask.

look forward your futhur work！ make test takes really long time， with valgrind is almost unacceptable。 -- Reeze Sent from my iphone On 2012年5月3日Thursday at 19:42, Olivier Doucet wrote: Hi, 2012/5/3 zoe slattery aparac...@gmail.com: Hi Some years ago (in 2009) Stefan Priebsch, myself and a GSOC student worked on a version of run-tests.php which would run tests in parallel - I wrote about it here: http://zoomsplatter.blogspot.co.uk/2009/07/on-no-not-more-tests.html.
