About a month ago, in the ‘Code quality, principles and rules’ thread, I’d proposed adding some testing standards to the project in lieu of revisiting the idea of removing singletons. The idea was that we could drive incremental improvement of the test coverage and testability situation that could be applied in day to day work. I’ve pushed a first draft to my repo here:
https://github.com/bdeggleston/cassandra/blob/testing-doc/TESTING.md Please take a look and let me know what you think. With the blessing of the pmc, I’d like this, or something like it, to be adopted as the reference for contributors and reviewers when deciding if a contribution is properly tested. Blake
