DeepTest 2.0 in the works

June 24th, 2009

I’ve started on a significant overhaul of DeepTest which will be released as version 2.0 when it’s finished. I thought I’d share some of my plans for what 2.0 will include and some thoughts about what might come versions after. I don’t have a timetable for yet, but work so far is going fairly quickly.

Plans for DeepTest 2.0

  • A revamped distributed DeepTest architecture that will help ease setup and maintenance.
  • A new console user interface that will provide much more information about what is going on during the test run
  • Much better error handling & reporting (no more “Maybe an error was printed above?”!)
  • RSpec integration that doesn’t break with every new release of rspec.
  • Automatic configuration for Rails projects

What comes after 2.0? The next big feature I’d like to implement is support for cloud testing with deep test on EC2. Other than that, the features coming after 2.0 will likely be driven be requests. Is there a feature you’d like to see in DeepTest? Comment here or message me (qxjit) on github and we’ll get it rolling!
