How Other Projects Can Benefit from ANSTE
ANSTE was developed explicitly to help in the testing process of software that involves several machines connected to a network. Any project that matches this description can easily improve its quality assurance process by using ANSTE to automate it.
One of the projects that can easily take advantage of ANSTE is MySQL. MySQL is a widely used open source database management system. It already has a great testing framework, but it is heavily oriented toward SQL testing on a single host. However, there are some parts of MySQL, such as replication and clustering, that require several MySQL servers.
The testing framework can run multiple servers in the same machine to perform these tests, but although these tests might cover the most usual behavior, they do not faithfully reflect the real scenarios with several machines, as they fail to take into account possible failures in the connections between the machines, which actually is a very important test case for database clusters.
ANSTE has already been successfully used to test MySQL clusters. As ANSTE is designed to deal with several machines, it can replicate more closely a real cluster scenario. For example, a network failure can be easily simulated by bringing down the network interface from a script, making testing this issue a straightforward and completely automated task.
It is quite easy to find further examples of projects that can benefit from ANSTE. There is no need to even look away from ...
