Henning Gross commented on SUREFIRE-811:
----------------------------------------

Well. In our case we have an onboard-unit. The target system has a variety of diffs to the build server. Jenkins is running on a 64 bit machine, the target system is 32 bit. This can be solved via maven but then again... the binary under test is not the one which gets released.
Also we would need jenkins support firing some x as we want to test out SWT - Gui. Finally we interoperate with a lot of low-level stuff as dbus which requires native/system libs. Or even GPS, Cameras, devices connected via LIN-Bus. We could mock most of it but some automated real-life-tests would be good. Also some requirements to the build server would remain and this system is building a lot of projects which are supposed to be portable as our admins do not know about the specific per-project-requirements. We tend to rather make our projects build whereever and i do not see a better fit for integration-system-tests as the one suggested. Do you? I would appreciate your ideas...
