Hello,
If you don't know me yet, I am the new person working on automation : https://www.torproject.org/about/jobs-lead-automation.html.en
To get started working on tor automation, I am currently looking at all components that are part of tor project, to find what is the current status regarding build, packaging, testing, and what should be done. I'm going to write a summary of this, with some proposals and a general plan for the work to be done during the coming months, and it will be available at the following URLs : https://people.torproject.org/~boklm/automation/tor-automation-review.html https://people.torproject.org/~boklm/automation/tor-automation-review.pdf (you can find an early version there)
In order to help me doing that, I'm very interested to receive from developers of any tor components :
- a description or ticket number of bugs that you wish could have been detected earlier with automated tests
- any wish or specific needs that you may have
- anything else that you think might be useful for me to know
If you want to discuss this on IRC, I'm 'boklm' on #tor-dev.
Thanks!
Nicolas
