[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-13869) Find a way to run testsuite against existing builds but with different TP without requiring publishing

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-13869?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12781172#comment-12781172 ] 

Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-13869:
----------------------------------------

[~maxandersen]: The difficulty in that task is not to run the test. Eclipse already provides what's necessary to run tests automatically, and we do publish the tests on an update-site for "external" installation and execution.
The difficulty is more to find a simple way to define the target platform. I don't think we can/want to use directly a target definition.

What I can propose you for good efficiency/low price is the following: A CI job that takes the latest build of JBDS, install tests in it, and run some of the tests on demand (that would be a job parameter). WDYT?

> Case for 4.0.1 was TP change was done late, how do we run tests without having to rebuild everything again.
> Possible options:
> 1) Create new testsuite that depends on all other testsuites and run them in surefire test. 
> 2) use something else than surefire to run the already built testsuites.
