    <p>I've become responsible for cleaning up an old unit-testing environment. The existing environment contains a ton of executables (1000+ shell scripts, compiled binaries, etc) and each one returns code 0 or 1 and some output depending on the results. Tests can also time out. A set of PERL scripts goes through, runs each executable file, and collects the results into a big XML file which gets rendered into a web page. This system works great, but isn't very extensible or fast.</p> <p>In addition to cleaning/speeding this up, I would like to implement concurrent testing. Right now the tests run one at a time. Many of the tests require resource locks (ports, files, etc) and there's no listing of which are safe to run simultaneously. An option here is to run each one in a VM of some kind. </p> <p>Is there a framework or tool designed for this type of situation? What's the best way to approach it if I have to write my own brand new system? My limitation is that I cannot change the 1000+ test executables. I was thinking something like PyUnit with Python unit tests that use subprocess or similar to execute the existing tests and convert the results into a Pythonic format. Is this overkill? Could such a system support isolation of processes to avoid deadlocks and race conditions between tests? In a worst-case, I was thinking of using Python to SSH into one of several VM's to run the tests.</p> <p>Any help or guidance would be appreciated.</p> <p>Edit: Python isn't strictly necessary. Another solution might just break the test set into several M-sized chunks and run each test in an independent VM over SSH until all M-sized chunks are done. I'm hoping there's a tool out there that solves this problem.</p>

    1. COWhile I haven't tackled a problem exactly like the one you outline, I have tackled quite a few that are similar. Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss this further.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
