[Gluster-devel] GlusterFS unit test framework

[Luis Pabon]

Hi all,
     The patch is now live in GlusterFS.  This patch will allow you to 
write unit tests for your new patches or if you want, you can start 
writing unit tests for older code.  Writing unit tests for older code is 
a great way to learn the code (which I will be doing :-)).  I have also 
created a presentation to help explain what unit tests are:

http://slides-lpabon.rhcloud.com/feb24_glusterfs_unittest.html#/

The framework will also help in situations where developers are 
depending on APIs from other contributors.  In this situation, the 
developer can write their patch and test their code by mocking any APIs 
their code is dependent on.  This method allows for parallel development 
without the need to wait for the APIs to be available.

- Luis
