Re: [infinispan-dev] Uber jars testing

Good post Jiri, this got me thinking :) Running the entire testsuite again with uber jars would add a lot of time to the build time. Maybe we should have a set of tests that must be executed for sure, e.g. like Wildfly's smoke tests [1]. We have "functional" group but right now it covers pretty much all tests. Such tests should live in a separate testsuite, so that we could add the essential tests for *all* components. In a way, we've already done some of this in integrationtests/ but it's not really well structured for this aim. Also, if we would go down this path, something we should take advantage of (if possible with JUnit/TestNG) is what Gustavo did with the Spark tests in [2], where he used suites to make it faster to run things, by starting a cache manager for distributed caches, running all distributed tests...etc. In a way, I think we can already do this with Arquillian Infinispan integration, so Arquillian would probably well suited for such smoke testsuite. Thoughts?
