So,after a much more log parsing and number crunching than I had anticipated, I have some results from the Greener Tinderbox effort. For those that don’t know, I’ve been running all the TUnit automated tests over and over on a set of knock-off Tinderboxen trying to hammer out which failures …
So, I’ve been trying to get some test results together over the last few weeks to try to determine why our Tinderboxes keep going orange. To do that, I’ve been running the TUnit test harnesses constantly on the same change set, amassing quite a bit of data. One of the …
