What is it that characterises XWiki application lifecycle management?

XWiki  is an open source project born 16 years ago, which is continuously improving through 40 new versions per year. This enterprise wiki provides a platform for application development and offers 700 extensions. All together, it contains more than one million lines of java and javascript code. Every month, nearly 50 contributors are working on XWiki (including translations), including around 10 developers regularly involved in the core of the platform. The Build phase is very tool-intensive. A lot of tests and verifications are carried out to ensure optimal quality and compatibility with previous versions.

Which of the automated testing tools in the STAMP project are used regularly by XWiki?

We perform integration tests, unit tests and functional tests on several browsers, with several versions of java, several DBMS and in various Servlet engines. The testing tools developed during the STAMP project help us to validate our test coverage, to improve quality. Each new code that joins an XWiki module is checked in the Build phase to ensure that the quality of the module will be equal or superior to that of the previous version.
