The continuous build should execute the unit tests for all project modules projects/core, projects/ide, projects/filesets, projects/compilation following each build. If any of the stable tests fail, an error message should be sent just like what happens with a build problem.
Rudo, any progress on this issue?
IMO this requirement should be solved somehow in netbeans build infrastructure. Tests should be executed not only for project's modules.
I'm not certain unit tests should be run during *continuous* build, which have to be fast&stable as much as possible. Unit tests are not as much stable to be run within continuous build unattended for couple of days without problems. Actually there's no plan to implement this feature.
The effectiveness of running tests immediately after an integration has been demonstrated through several development models (XP). Performing tests immediately following an integration will allow regressions to be caught immediately and will make the product more stable. The reason I filed this bug on projects was that a seperate continuous build was being executed and the specified test execution time was relatively short.
