The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: Tapper DSLIP: Mmphb description: Automated OS testing, also virtualized userid: AMD (AMD OSRC (AMD Operating System Research Center)) chapterid: 25 (Bundles) communities: tap...@amd64.org
similar: Smolder rationale: [This is a variant of an already approved namespace request (formerly "Artemis" at user "SCHWIGON") about 9mths ago, but now with a different name due to, erm, difficult reasons.] We want to release our framework for automated OS and distribution testing to CPAN. It consists of several modules to have a central control program which triggers machines to boot via network, so they are automatically installed, executing satellite modules, injecting software into virtualized guest images (usually for Xen, KVM), a strong scheduler, some services to receive test results, a web application to view results, a DPath driven query interface, etc., etc. It is all built around TAP. The report collection has some functional overlap with Smolder but the whole system is more targeted to run a complete infrastructure with scheduling several bandwidth-constrained use-cases over a pool of machines, primarily focusing an operating system test context. Many perl-related use-cases are also possible, it's not restricted to OS testing. The code is "quite ok", "medium-modern" Perl -- DBIC, Catalyst, Moose, some MX::Declare, although maybe not the most bleading edge. We presented parts of it (though under a different name) during German Perlworkshop and YAPC::Europe, both 2009: http://www.perl-workshop.de/talks/157/view http://yapceurope2009.org/ye2009/talk/1950 We plan to release it the next few weeks; all formal hurdles are taken. This time it's a BSD license. All in all I think it's worth the top-level namespace due to it's a whole infrastructure in itself. You can "unregister" the original name "Artemis" at user "SCHWIGON" once "Tapper" got approved.
