Please RSVP (off-list.) You may want to bring snacks/drinks/etc. If you cannot bring a computer, let me know and I'll have one setup. We're at 3320 SW 122nd in Beavertonlandport (Cedar Hills) just a few blocks North of the max stop at Beaverton Transit Center. We do have a cat, but the weather should be nice enough for those with allergies to stay outside. --Eric -- Issues of control, repair, improvement, cost, or just plain understandability all come down strongly in favor of open source solutions to complex problems of any sort. --Robert G.

In 2006, Curtis "Ovid" Poe started the TAP::Harness project, which has formalized the TAP protocol, cleaned-up the harness code, and made it possible to do lots of new and exciting things with the Perl test tools. As an example, Eric Wilhelm has already implemented a parallel test harness as a very thin and clean layer on top of TAP::Harness. TAP has grown up, and is not just for Perl anymore. TAP producers are already available for C/C++, Forth, Java, Javascript, Python, PHP, PL/SQL, and can be easily developed for any language (or process) which is able to produce plaintext output. This presentation will cover * the simple innards of the TAP protocol * running your tests with a harness * testing multiple languages * testing poultry * running tests in parallel * resolving parallel resource conflicts * moving on: caching and clustering More info: http://testanything.org Standard meeting rules apply. ------------------------------------------------------- -- If the above message is encrypted and you have lost your pgp key, please send a self-addressed, stamped lead box to the address below. --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com --------------------------------------------------- From tex at off.org Fri Sep 14 12:50:42 2007 From: tex at off.org (Austin Schutz) Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2007 12:50:42 -0700 Subject: [Pdx-pm] Fwd: Parallel Testing talk on Monday In-Reply-To: <200709141235.26339.ewilhelm@cpan.org> References: <200709141235.26339.ewilhelm@cpan.org> Message-ID: <20070914195042.GP12951@gblx.net> Sweeeeeeet!!!

Improve the quality of your services? Eliminate many of the risks that threaten your efforts? AutomateIt is an open-source tool for automating the setup and maintenance of servers, applications and their dependencies. It provides a surprisingly simple, yet powerful, way to manage files, packages, services, networks, accounts, roles, templates and more.

For example, you can use AutomateIt to write recipes for simple tasks, like setting up a PHP-based blog at a shared hosting provider so you can easily rebuild or migrate it elsewhere. Or use it for more ambitious tasks, like deploying and maintaining clusters of Ruby on Rails applications servers running on different OSes with numerous system-level packages that require unique configurations. Or use it to refactor the system architecture of your Java EE app and switch to different components in a safe, previewable manner by effortlessly applying the same set of changes you validated in development VMs to staging and eventually production servers. The possibilities are endless because in addition to AutomateIt's many built-in features, its extensible architecture makes it easy to adapt to your unique needs. For details and downloads, visit http://AutomateIt.org/ The presentation will cover the benefits of an agile infrastructure, how it's helped real projects, present AutomateIt's unique features, and demonstrate AutomateIt in action.
