the most comfortable for github is travis-ci (it runs tests even for pull requests). we already use it for openvpn-gui and openvpn-build projects (just build, those projects do not have any tests yet):
https://travis-ci.org/OpenVPN/openvpn-gui https://travis-ci.org/OpenVPN/openvpn-build as for openvpn itself, there's special branch, which is used for coverity scan on travis-ci: https://travis-ci.org/OpenVPN/openvpn and there's some tests for openvpn: https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/tree/master/tests 2016-04-21 12:12 GMT+05:00 Jens <openvpn-de...@neuhalfen.name>: > Hi > > I think that adding unit tests would greatly improve the ease of > implementing new features for openvpn.
