Project issue file test

For background and to file new issues, please use the Testbot queue. We'll move it to other modules as necessary.

This is the module that takes patches posted in the Drupal.org issue queue and sends them off to qa.drupal.org for dispatch to testbots.

It provides Project module integration for PIFR (qa.drupal.org). The integration serves to make automated testing and review part of the development workflow without requiring effort on behalf of the developer.

Information transfer

All requests and data transmissions are sent using the XML-RPC protocol defined by PIFR. Cron is used to trigger the XML-RPC communication and as such there is a short lag time between the event occurring and the time it has been completely processed.

Triggers

Testing is performed, if all criteria are met, when a commit is made or a patch is posted on an issue. The commits will trigger testing of their respective branches and the patches will trigger testing of the related branch with the patch applied. In the future testing of releases may be supported.

Display

Results are displayed along side the attachments in the issue queue, but there is currently no way to see the testing results for a branch except via PIFR. Displaying the results on project pages is something that will be supported in the future.
