Understanding the tests

[Andrew Bayer <an...@gmail.com>]

So I've got a bit of understanding of what we've got in the test directory,
but I'm betting not many people do, and my knowledge is fairly limited. =)
Roman, could you explain what the various directories are and what's in them
roughly? We should probably get that on the wiki. I think getting the
automated testing going is the single most important thing for 0.2.0.

Well, there's a site portion dedicated to iTest:
    trunk/test/site
which is still available @GitHUB but hasn't been hooked up to Apache
site generation:
    http://cloudera.github.com/bigtop/iTest/
There's stuff like API docs:
    http://cloudera.github.com/bigtop/iTest/apidocs/index.html

The docs are pretty sparse, but it is a good start.

I'd rather hook the iTest portion of the site to the rest of it.

Btw, take a look at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-42

I think it is crucial for us to at least build-validate submitted patches.
Test validation will come a bit later.

Thanks,
