NAME SmokeRunner::Multi - Manage smoke tests across multiple branches/checkouts/projects SYNOPSIS use SmokeRunner::Multi; my $runner = SmokeRunner::Multi->new(); $runner->run_and_report_next_set(); DESCRIPTION This distribution was created to help manage the running of automated tests across multiple branches or checkouts. Each branch is called a "test set", and sets are ordered based on various criteria. This class provide a high-level interface for getting the next set, running its tests, and reporting on them. Also see the smokerunner-multi script that comes with this distribution. METHODS/FUNCTIONS This class provides the following methods: SmokeRunner::Multi->new() Creates a new object. $smoker->next_set() Returns the next test set to be run. $smoker->run_and_report_next_set() This is a convenience method that can be used to run and report on the next test set in a single step. As a convenience (mostly for testing), it returns the reporter object it creates internally. $smoker->make_runner( ... ) This is a convenience method for making a `SmokeRunner::Multi::Runner' object of the class specified in the config file. Any parameters passed to this method will be passed on to the Runner class's constructor. $smoker->make_reporter( ... ) This is a convenience method for making a `SmokeReporter::Multi::Reporter' object of the class specified in the config file. Any parameters passed to this method will be passed on to the Reporter class's constructor. CONFIGURATION See SmokeRunner::Multi::Config for details on configuring the smoke runner. You need to create a minimal config file to do much of anything. SEE ALSO See the other classes in this distribution for more information: SmokeRunner::Multi::TestSet, SmokeRunner::Multi::Runner, SmokeRunner::Multi::Reporter, and SmokeRunner::Multi::Config.
