NAME
SmokeRunner::Multi - Manage smoke tests across multiple branches/checkouts/projects
SYNOPSIS
use SmokeRunner::Multi;
my $runner = SmokeRunner::Multi->new();
$runner->run_and_report_next_set();DESCRIPTION
This distribution was created to help manage the running of automated tests across multiple branches or checkouts.
Each branch is called a "test set", and sets are ordered based on various criteria. This class provide a high-level interface for getting the next set, running its tests, and reporting on them.
Also see the smokerunner-multi script that comes with this distribution.
METHODS/FUNCTIONS
This class provides the following methods:
SmokeRunner::Multi->new()
Creates a new object.
$smoker->next_set()
Returns the next test set to be run.
$smoker->run_and_report_next_set()
This is a convenience method that can be used to run and report on the next test set in a single step.
As a convenience (mostly for testing), it returns the reporter object it creates internally.
$smoker->make_runner( ... )
This is a convenience method for making a SmokeRunner::Multi::Runner object of the class specified in the config file. Any parameters passed to this method will be passed on to the Runner class's constructor.
$smoker->make_reporter( ... )
This is a convenience method for making a SmokeReporter::Multi::Reporter object of the class specified in the config file. Any parameters passed to this method will be passed on to the Reporter class's constructor.
