In order to maintain a rapid rate of development across multiple platforms and an ever increasing set of features, it is imperative that test suites be updated, maintained, executed, and evolved. The Chromium Buildbots are employed to run these tests 24x7.Developers contributing code are expected to always run all tests. Given the volume of tests combined with the multitude of platforms, this can be a daunting task. But fear not, your Chromium teammates will help you too. The goal is to keep the source tree always building so that regressions are minimized and developer productivity is maximized. When contributing code, always consider whether your change has enough testing. If it is a new feature or module, it should almost certainly be accompanied by tests.
After committing a change, you should use the Chromium Buildbot to monitor that the automated tests pass with your change. Please be reachable by email or IRC after check-in in case something unexpected happens.
Test Development Infrastructure To assist with building tests, several pieces of infrastructure exist. A truism with testing is that more is always needed.
