I’m working on a product I call a QA Site.

My aim is to significantly reduce the ramp up time needed for development teams by providing tools and support in the areas of test automation, environment setup, and continuous integration.

A typical QA Site installation may include tools such as the following:

• version control – Git, Subversion, CVS
• defect tracking – Bugzilla, Mantis, Trac, Redmine, Jira
• task management – ProjectPier, dotProject, [Taskboard]
• document management - Alfresco, KnowledgeTree, Sharepoint
• wiki – Twiki, XWiki, Confluence
• unit testing – Junit, TestNG, SimpleTest, RSpec
• build automation – Make, Ant, Maven, Phing, Rake
• continuous integration – CruiseControl, Hudson, Luntbuild
• static analysis & code coverage – Findbugs, Cobertura, RATS
• deployment automation – Capistrano, custom scripts
• automated testing – Selenium, Watir, HTMLUnit, TestMaker
• test case management - Fitnesse, STIQ, Testopia, QATraq, [Custom]

It may also include one or more additional servers to provide test deployment environments.

QA Sites can be managed either on-site or in a secure hosting environment.  I  recommend Linode for dedicated Xen virtual servers, and Amazon EC2 for cloud deployments.

If you’re interested, send me a note, or call me at 425-242-4304.
