Integration tests vs CDB outage¶

• MAUS test server jobs all failed due to CDB outage
• This is an undesirable feature
• Propose rule that unit tests should not be dependent on external servers etc
  • Test cdb code using mock-up of the cdb API
• Split integration tests and run as a separate test job triggered by successful build and unit tests
  • Integration tests will need to be split anyway - we will need load tests soon
  • so at the moment the test server job goes

1. test using prebuilt 3rd party including unit tests and integration tests (run install_build_test.bash $THIRDPARTYDIR)
2. rebuild 3rd party and including unit tests and integration tests (run install_build_test.bash)

• New test server jobs would be

1. build and unit test using prebuilt 3rd party including unit tests (run install_build_test.bash)
2. rebuild 3rd party; build and unit test; integration test (run install_build_test.bash; tests/integration_tests.bash)

• We accept the second job may fail if some external servers die
