Release testing script
----------------------
Key: GEOS-876
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-876
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 1.5.0-beta2
Reporter: Brent Owens
Assigned To: Brent Owens
Fix For: 1.5.0-beta3
There are many things that need to be tested when a release is built, such as:
- version numbers
- distribution size (is the download too big?)
- is the data directory working
- if there is no data directory specified, does it default properly?
- does it start up without errors
- duplicate files (especially with gis data files)
- runs without JAI being installed (we have to make sure this is always the case from now on)
These can all be tested by hand, but you have to remember to do each one and it can be time consuming.
I am proposing writing a script that will test these. It should be simple to set up and to code, maybe in python or another tool that is capable.
It can be run by hand after the release is generated and doesn't have to be integrated into maven, for now but maybe in the future.
