Announcement: Racetrack 1.0 repository

[Nagappan Alagappan]

Hello all,

Racetrack <http://racetrackqa.com/> is a designed to store and display the
results of automated tests.  At VMware <http://vmware.com/>, over 2,000,000
test results have been stored in Racetrack Repository.  Over 25 different
teams use the repository to report results.  It has a very simple data
model, just three basic tables.  ResultSet (stores information about a set
of tests (Product, Build, etc.)  Result, which stores information about the
testcase itself, and ResultDetail, which stores the details of each
verification performed within the test.  ResultDetails also include
screenshots and log files, make it easy for the triage engineer to determine
the cause of the failure.

We are very excited to offer Racetrack to the
public<https://launchpad.net/racetrack>as an Open Source project.  It
offers complete visibility on test results to
the organization, much more than Pass/Fail. QA Engineers, Developers, QA
Managers, Project Managers all find it useful to quickly see the results of
Basic Acceptance Tests, available within an hour of the build
completing.  Racetrack Triage Report makes it easy to see the number of
defects found by a set of tests, and the number of failures caused by
Product Changes, and Script failures.   By adding a reference to your
Bugzilla and Build systems, you can easily provide links directly from
Racetrack to a defect or a build information page.  The Web Services API is
already part of the package, and SilkTest and Java APIs will be added
shortly.

Thanks
Nagappan
