Is it acceptable or normal to get testsuite failures

[sgodden]

I checked out jboss-3.2.

built fine.

Ran testsuite, and got 57 errors (4.46%).

Is this normal, should I expect this to happen, and will everyone else be experiencing it?

Or would you say something is amiss with my environment?
(Suitable topic for FAQ?)

That is not at all a bad run!

You might want to check out the test errors and see if you can identify critical errors just by eye-balling it.

Your further question is wether you can do a comparison against a standard run and determine go/no-go status for yourself.

Good question. Do we do standard nightly runs for JBOSS? If so where can we find such information?

We even do not have a reliable build - how could we have a meaningfull test run?

The most i have achieved with the full testsuite was 98,9 % in 3.2.1

I have to be working on this - maybe it will be maven.
Outcome: build&test (The Bridal Bouquet) for win32, RH9.0A, MacOSX and AIX4.3 | jdk1.3&1.4

But you may also ask Chris for this.
