Thread: Spikewatch testing
Spikewatch is testing a number of different open-source components, including ours. If you click on a green datapoint, you can see what our actual code-coverage was for that test (presumably they're running the regression tests). Unfortunately, the banner ad I saw for them showed MySQL (along with a bunch of other things), but not PostgreSQL. Is it worth trying to promote this as a way to promote PostgreSQL? Also, is it worth trying to improve our test coverage? -- Jim C. Nasby, Sr. Engineering Consultant jnasby@pervasive.com Pervasive Software http://pervasive.com 512-569-9461

Actually, they'll be running a contest (with prizes up to $2500) for improved test coverage for OSS applications. I've been trying to get someone to commit to helping me on the contest, so that PostgreSQL can participate. -- --Josh Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

Maybe if you give specifics one of us can commit to helping :-) Best Wishes, Chris Travers Metatron Technology Consulting

IIRC you just needed a commitment from a commiter, right? -- Jim C. Nasby, Sr. Engineering Consultant jnasby@pervasive.com Pervasive Software http://pervasive.com 512-569-9461

Also, we need to write up test submission guidelines: basically just documentation on how to create a new regression test. It's on my TODO list ... -- --Josh Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco
