Hi all, For Gluster 3.5, I'd like to propose we get some kind of *multi-node* testing framework in place for Gluster. The existing test framework is single node only, which doesn't fit well for a distributed file system. I've recently looked into Autotest in depth, but ruled it out since it's: * Linux only (ugh) * Very hard to figure out for newbies * Close to zero documentation * Opaque/unreadable source * Painful to work with :( Potentially we could use STAF (staf.sourceforge.net). I've not investigated this in depth yet, but from it's website it's: * Cross Platform http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFFAQ.htm#d0e36 * Seems like extensive documentation, and usable with several languages: http://staf.sourceforge.net/current/STAFPython.htm * Seems like a _reasonably_ active Community http://sourceforge.net/p/staf/mailman/staf-users/ I'll put this info into a Feature Page if people think it's worth writing up and taking further. ?
