While I am going through the document, I would like people to take a look at what we had done - https://kadalu.io/rfcs/0002-test-framework-binnacle.html
At least the goals looks similar, ie, simplify testing, make it language agnostic, and also provide distributed infra awareness. Our goal was to keep the learning curve less for already existing developers with compatibility to existing test framework.
Happy if we as a community can do a collaborated effort on this. Because in my experience, none of this efforts will be concluded in few months, but will need year or more time. And what we do now should stand test of time, and should be used for the next 10+years at least. So, take time, discuss pros and cons and then get to implementation.
If everyone thinks binnacle idea is good, we can work together on it. If there are concerns in the community that kadalu owns the repo, happy to consider hosting it under gluster/ org after there are contributions coming.
Regards,
Amar
