Paul,
ATS looks like very interesting stuff. I will take a look at it this
week. Thanks to everyone else, for the great suggestions. On a
related note, I would love to be involved in a testing related Sprint
at PyCon. I think they, the organizers, are still looking for Sprint
leaders, so if someone is interested in doing more work on parallel
testing in Python, I will show up. I suppose, I like the idea of
having the ability to scale an arbitrary number of virtual machines as
test nodes, and having the ability to control them to netboot a
"clean" test operating system, build a database, do test, and then
rebuild themselves. That would be one heck of a Sprint. What is
great, is that if you have a firewire, or USB 2 drive, you can
simulate something like this on your laptop, quite easily, and then
roll it out into production.
