The Samba Selftest System
From SambaWiki
Presentation Introduction and overview
Andrew Bartlett's Two years with Samba's autobuild presentation at Linux.conf.au 2012 is a good place to start understanding our automated test and CI infrastructure. Youtube.

Autobuild
Autobuild is the top *Pure Samba* layer in the selftest system.
Public CI using GitLab CI
There's now also a Samba CI instance on gitlab, available for Samba team members and outside contributors: Samba CI on gitlab. This is the next layer up, controlled by the .gitlab-ci.yml
file in the repository, this runs Autobuild.
make test
The next layer is make test
which invokes selftest.pl
and filters the results via subunit.
Subunit
Samba's selftest system is based on Subunit output streams, to describe tests that pass, fail and are flapping.
