Git Testing Tooling

1 post · Feb 2015

What this trail covers

Spotify has developed git-test, a tool to automate testing of local commits during development and rebasing. This aims to improve code quality and developer workflow by catching issues early and providing a more robust testing loop than manual methods. The tool caches results based on tree hashes to avoid redundant tests and offers features for capturing test output and filtering commits by file.

  1. Introducing git-testIntroduced git-test, a command-line tool that automates running tests on local Git commits. It intelligently selects commits to test (those on the current branch not in upstream), caches test results based on tree hashes to speed up subsequent runs, and captures test output. It also supports filtering commits by file path and integrates with git bisect for bug hunting.
