Module: BigBench::Bot

Defined in:
lib/bigbench/bot.rb

Overview

A bot is used for remote testing. It is running in the background of a machine and waits for tests to run. If you want to run a test with a cluster of 20 machines, simply set them all up and start the bot with:

bigbench start bot [REDIS_RUL_WITH_PORT REDIS_PASSWORD]

A bot will automatically check for a new test every minute. If a new test is available it runs the test and reports its results back to the redis. After that it goes into listening mode again.
