Justin,
Thanks for firing up this thread. Are there notable projects which use these frameworks? Do you have any info on what other distributed storage projects use for their automated testing?
Thanks,
Avati

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.
?
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift
