Agile Performance Testing - Testing Experience

Summary
Image10: Test Report
Our tests now get started automatically, and reports arrive per
mail. We have saved lots of time, and also became less dependent
on the availability of the build engineer. Of course, we still need
this expertise, as even automated tests can break, and then need
to be repaired. The nice thing with the chain of jobs is that even
when they are broken, you can see where it broke, fix it, and continue
running from where the job stopped.

Nice to haves
Apart from our test automation, we added a few nice utility jobs
to our Hudson setup. On our Windows and Linux test machines,
we added scripts that create zipped backups, and scripts that
check resources of the OS. We configured Hudson jobs for these
scripts, and start those via a cron trigger. In that way we have automatic
backups, and get daily health overviews by mail.
