Windmill Plugin for Hudson
Over the last 6+ months, I have been using Hudson in conjunction with Windmill very heavily for continuous integration. For the most part using the build step specific to whatever the slave OS requires has worked sufficiently well until recently when my needs changed. I use the ‘configuration matrix’ option to build a matrix of browsers to run the tests, this way I can have one job that represents a test run on multiple boxes and multiple browsers on each … Continue reading →

PyCon 2009 Recap
Getting back in the swing of things after conferencing for weeks can be pretty painful, thus the lateness of the post. However I think it’s important to go over some thoughts still lingering in my brain as a result. First off, I have to say that for those of you who don’t know, PyCon is a community organized event, and amazingly well done. I was impressed by the design of the conference, the way they had four talks going on … Continue reading →

Diving into GIT
Over the last year, I have known that the day would come when I could no longer avoid moving from SVN (my comfort zone) to this new beast called GIT that everyone is so excited about. My first hour, which was installing it on my Mac and pulling down a repo to play with was very pleasant. My ssh keys and ~/.ssh/config was already setup the way I wanted and everything just worked. The pain began when I started in … Continue reading →

Zero to Continuous Integration with Windmill
Following ‘automation’ and ‘continuous integration’ in the micro blogging world I have seen a major influx in people being super interested in functionally automating their web apps. I have seen a slew of things about Grid, and Selenium, and people hacking on Watir so I decided to show you from the ground up how incredibly easy it is to get automated test running setup using Windmill and Hudson. I am not going to walk you through every detail, this is … Continue reading →

JUnit Compatible Reporting for Windmill
A large part of the utility in a testing framework like Windmill is the ability to interoperate with a continuous integration environment. Much of the work that has gone into Windmill recently has been the result of continuous integration needs. There are many ways to do this with existing software packages out there that include Tinderbox,Buildbot and Cruise Control however we picked Hudson as a result of the super small learning overhead and amazing simplicity required to setup slaves on … Continue reading →

Oscon 2008 Schedule
Every year I like to make myself a road map of how I will be spending my time during OSCON. As there are so many interesting possible talks, gatherings and social events it’s tough to get to all the things you care about. At this point in my career my focus is on Web Development, Test Automation (specifically for the web & browsers), and social networking. Obviously on a moment by moment basis your interests are pulled in varying directions, … Continue reading →

Leaving Rearden Commerce, What’s Next?
What happened? As some of you may have heard, today I resigned from my position at Rearden Commerce. Leaving a company is never a fun thing, because you know how you feel when you hear that someone else is leaving.. and you can see it in people’s eyes. I have reminded myself multiple times today that I am still going to be 30 mins away, most of my communication with those people has been via email and IM and there is no … Continue reading →
