Piwik Quality Assurance

The Piwik project uses an ever-expanding comprehensive set of unit tests and automated web tests on a self-hosted continuous integration server as part of its software quality assurance. This complements our software development practices, such as SCM and code reviews. For more information, please refer to the Developer Zone (wiki).

QA Tools

Hudson is the continuous integration build server. It runs tests (unit, integration, webtests) as soon as there is a commit in SVN.
When tests pass, Hudson is and when tests fail . Then the developer and the mailing list piwik-builds are notified by email.
Hudson stores the files after the build in the Build artifacts.
piwik-builds mailing list

If the build fails, check the build artifacts.
