maxscale-system-test

System level tests for MaxScale

Basics

• every test is separate executable file
• backend for test:
  • 1 machine for Maxscale

  • = 4 machines for Master/Slave

  • = 4 machines for Galera cluster

• environmental variables contains all information about backend: IPs, user names, passwords, paths to tools, etc
• backed can be created with help of MDBCI tool
• configuring of Master/Slave and Galera can be done with help of build scripts package
