Publishing test results

Publishing test results

[Andrew Cagney]

Hello,

I'm looking guidelines on how to add a proper test results section to
GDB's web pages.  At present GDB has:
http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/#testing which, among other things, points
to non GDB web pages ....

Looking around I note that GCC has: http://gcc.gnu.org/testresults/ . 
I'm first wondering if anyone has comments on this or suggestions for
what ways of getting results published would be acceptable (from a
sware/security standpoint).

Implementation wise, I've had suggested:

	o	have the remote machine
		push results onto sware
		(means that the remote
		machine has an open
		ssh key around)

	o	have sware pull
		results off of a remote
		machine

	o	have results submitted
		via a mailing list...

Does GCC use any of these?

	Andrew

GCC uses the last.  However, I think the code sitting on the mailing list
went nuts a while back and hasn't been adding new data into the database.

This is what I'd recommend too.  This is what mozilla.org does for
example (their test result summarizer is called tinderbox).

For the actual publishing, if you're inside RedHat, look here:

    http://cygweb.cygnnus.com/cgi-bin/libgcj.cgi

This is something I worked on for a while but haven't had time to
finish.  It is fairly modular.  One part that hasn't been done is
uploading test results into the database.  I wish I had time to finish
this, but I don't -- it has proved very useful to us on our gcj work.
