Linux::Distribution::Packages: Generic Packages Information Gathering Tool
January 20, 2006 - Building on module Linux::Distribution, I have released Linux::Distribution::Packages, version 0.01 on CPAN. This tool will gather the package information for various distributions and write it out in native, xml or csv. This is one more step to getting generic tools to gather OS information for running tests flexibly on remote systems.
System Information Gathering Tool Collaboration
January 17, 2006 - With an eye to making the test client run on any distibution and toward more modularization, I have done some work on an existing CPAN module from Alberto Re called Linux::Distribution. It was designed to guess what distro is running on your (test) system. I added Ubuntu and added the capability to get the version as well. I intend to build on this to collect more system information such as the installed packages. We can add any distros we want to test on and hopefully the cpan location will allow others to use it more easily.
Testing, RSS feeds, IRC-chat oh my!
December 13, 2005 - It's been a while since the last update. We've been working hard with the Beijing Software Testing and QA Center and they are on the verge of sending in their very first test results. We've learned a tremendous about in terms of usability of the framework from them and it is very much appreciated. We've also hooked up our site to an rss feed (a big Thank You to Bryce Harrington for the script). We've also started an irc chat room #open_testing so that we can discuss any testing issues. It is extremely useful when trying to connect with our Chinese collaborators.
Beijing Software Testing and QA Collaboration
November 3, 2005 - We are currently in the process of beginning to work with the Beijing Software Testing & QA Center. We're having some preliminary discussions to determine how they can utilize the BRT framework in their existing test environment. Our goal is to have them up and running tests and submitting results as quickly as possible.
Running Tests and Improving Framework
October 27, 2005 - We currently have a series of Xorg tests running and producing results. We're also continuing our LTP test runs. Our focus now is shifting towards delivering on a set of binary applications that can be tested in the BRT framework. There is still ongoing improvements being made to the framework and results page. Simplification and ease of use has been improved on the user side allowing test runs to be generated quicker and less painfully. However, there is still room for more improvements which are being tackled. Users will also notice results formatting and display undergoing some renovation in hopes to produce a more asthetically pleasing imformative display of results.
Testing Collaboration with SpikeSource
August 29, 2005 - We are trying to start a testing collaboration effort with SpikeSource. Right now we are trying to install and configure the SpikeSource Core Stack on our base installation. We hope this will result in the generation of a build set in which SpikeSource may run some of their tests on and report results.
Working on Development Environment and X
August 5, 2005 - We are setting up a development environment internally for STP, PLM and BRT. This is taking much of our attention. However, we are also getting a build set ready for x.org testing. They have a great test suite and we believe this will facilitate use of Enterprise Linux on the desk-top.
BRT in Production
July 15, 2005 - The Servers are up. We are running tests and the BRT Search Page is available. There is a new link on the sidebar to indicate what tests we have currently available. You may also run your own. Anyone can register, run a test and post results. Read the User Guide for info. The source is under Downloads-version 0.1.5-r2.
