 ## Testing

+Testing for an Accumulo release includes a few steps that a developer may take without a Hadoop cluster and several that require a working cluster. For minor releases, 
+the tests which run on a Hadoop cluster are recommended to be completed but are not required. Running even a reduced set of tests against real hardware is always encouraged
+even if the full test suite (in breadth of nodes or duration) is not executed. If PMC members do not believe adequate testing was performed for the sake of making the proposed
+release, the release should be vetoed via the normal voting process. New major releases are expected to run a full test suite.
 
 ### Stand alone
 The following steps can be taken without having an underlying cluster. They SHOULD be handled with each Hadoop profile available for a given release version. To activate an alternative profile specify e.g. "-Dhadoop.profile=2" for the Hadoop 2 profile on the Maven commandline. Some older versions of Accumulo referred to Hadoop profiles diferently; see the README that came with said versions for details on building against different Hadoop versions.
