[Groboutils-general] FASD project: Online survey launched

[<ben...@id...>]

Dear Open Source developer

I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate.
You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it.

With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development.


With many thanks for your participation,
Benno Luthiger


PS:
The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/.
We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list.

[Groboutils-general] parallelizing existing junit Tests

[Justin F. <ju...@br...>]

Sorry if this has been asked, couldn't find an archive for this list.

I've read a number of articles on Groboutils that allege it can run
parralell tests.  I'm interested in combining this functionality with
some existing junitpref LoadTests, for server scaling testing. =20
Looking at the api though, I'm having a hard time wrapping my head
around how one would go about using this.  TestRunnable being an
abstract base class instead of an interface seems to complicate things a
bit.  Here's an example of what I'm trying to do:

AddUserActionTest t1 =3D new AddUserActionTest("testAddUser");
t1.setParams("testuser1","Staff");
//this defines lt1 to be 5 iterations of 1 user running t1
LoadTest lt1 =3D new LoadTest(t1, 1, 5);

So now how do I parallelize lt1 so it can run in the
MultiThreadedTestRunner, which only takes TestRunnables? =20
I tried making a utility class like this:

public class LoadTestRunnable extends TestRunnable {
	private LoadTest test;
	public LoadTestRunnable(LoadTest test) {
		super();
		this.test =3D test;
	}

	public void runTest() throws Throwable {
		//the problem is here.  I'm supposed to pass
		//an instance of TestResult into the test,
		//but I'm not sure how to get one from the
		//MultiThreadedTestRunner
		test.run();
	}
}


Am I approaching this wrong?  Is there some other TestRunner I should be
using?
