Updated Wiki: xUnit.net Governance

jimnewkirk — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 22:12:45 GMT

xUnit.net Governance

This project is led and managed by a benevolent dictator. That is, the benevolent dictator is responsible for the general strategic direction in addition to the day-to-day maintenance of the project. In turn, it is the community’s job to guide the decisions of the benevolent dictator through active engagement and contribution.

Roles and Responsibilities

Benevolent dictator (project leads)

In the xUnit.net project the role of Benevolent Dictator (project leads) is shared between Brad Wilson and James Newkirk. However, because the community always has the ability to fork, they are fully answerable to the community. The project leads are expected to understand the community as a whole and strive to satisfy as many conflicting needs as possible, while ensuring that the project survives in the long term.

In many ways, the role of the benevolent dictator is less about dictatorship and more about diplomacy. The key is to ensure that, as the project expands, the right people are given influence over it and the community rallies behind the vision of the project leads.

Additionally, Outercurve Foundation staff considers the project leads as the primary point of contact or first point of contact for the project for purposes of business operations including domain registrations, and technical services (e.g. code-signing).

Committers

Committers are contributors who have made sustained valuable contributions to the project and are now relied upon to both write code directly to the repository. In many cases they are programmers but it is also possible that they contribute in a different role. Typically, a committer will focus on a specific aspect of the project, and will bring a level of expertise and understanding that earns them the respect of the community and the project lead. The role of committer is not an official one; it is simply a position that influential members of the community will find themselves in as the project lead looks to them for guidance and support.

Committers have no authority over the overall direction of the project. However, they do have the ear of the project leads. It is a committer’s job to ensure that the lead is aware of the community’s needs and collective objectives, and to help develop or elicit appropriate contributions to the project. Often, committers are given informal control over their specific areas of responsibility, and are assigned rights to directly modify certain areas of the source code. That is, although committers do not have explicit decision-making authority, they will often find that their actions are synonymous with the decisions made by the leads.
How to become one: Be appointed by the Benevolent Dictator

Contributors

Contributors are community members who submit pull requests for the project. These pull requests may be a one-time occurrence or occur over time. Expectations are that contributors will submit pull requests that are small at first and will only grow larger once the contributor has built confidence in the quality of their pull requests.

Note: before a contributor’s first pull request is put into the repository they must sign an assignment agreement. The pull request can be submitted and discussed but it can’t actually be committed to the repository without the appropriate paperwork in place.

How to become one: Submit a pull request. We'll evaluate the request to determine if it aligns with the projects goals. In addition to the goal alignment there is also a requirement to include appropriate tests and these tests run without failure. If all of the requirements are met we’ll accept it and merge it into the project. Want to see who's working on what? http://xunit.codeplex.com/sourcecontrol/list/contributions

Users

Users are community members who have a need for the project. They are the most important members of the community: without them, the project would have no purpose. Anyone can be a user; there are no specific requirements.

Users should be encouraged to participate in the life of the project and the community as much as possible. User contributions enable the project team to ensure that they are satisfying the needs of those users. Common user activities include (but are not limited to):

Advocating the use of the project
Informing developers of the project strength and weaknesses from a new user’s perspective
Providing moral support (a ‘thank you’ goes a long way)
Writing documentation and tutorials
Filing bug reports and feature requests
Participating on the discussion board

Users who continue to engage with the project and its community will often find themselves becoming more and more involved. Such users may then go on to become contributors, as described above.

How to become one: Use xUnit.net and participate at http://xunit.codeplex.com

Hi, sorry for the shame(less) plug, there is a chapter in my book Keeping Software Soft on "An Introduction to Unit Testing With xUnit.net". The book itself is aimed primarily at apprentice and journeyman software developers. KeepingSoftwareSoft.com

I have spent some time doing an exhaustive comparison of the 3 frameworks above, in their latest version. Available here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoNfKcTBEL4bdEZZb2JRYUwzSVZ6MXZvTTRPcDc3MGc&usp=sharing

We do not track the latest version of NUnit or MSTest for that matter. The table was marked with NUnit 2.2 because that is when we did the comparison. Given that it specifically states that its NUnit 2.2 I do not think that it is unfair.

Hi BradWilson, on Nov 14, 2012 NUnit was at version 2.6 (http://nunit.org/?p=releaseNotes&r=2.6.2). I'm really interessed on using xUnit, but if you are unfair on compare with other frameworks, this scare me!

New Comment on "HowToUseMSBuild"

simonMFox — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 03:06:19 GMT

I'm using Bamboo (by Atlassian) for CI which currently doesn't have support for xunit.net. I'm using the MSBuild runner to run my tests, but with the lack of xunit.net support have no way to display the results. Bamboo does have built in support for displaying nunit results however. Instead of extending Bamboo with a xunit.net runner or making changes to xunit.net MSBuild runner I have used the following slightly modified msbuild script with the NUnit xslt script from xunits console runner to get around these missing features <Project DefaultTargets="TransformResult" ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"> <UsingTask AssemblyFile="packages\xunit.1.9.1\lib\net20\xunit.runner.msbuild.dll" TaskName="Xunit.Runner.MSBuild.xunit"/> <Target Name="Test" > <xunit Assembly="Path.To.Test.Assembly\Test.Assembly.dll" Xml=".\testresults.xml"/> </Target> <Target Name="TransformResult" DependsOnTargets="Test"> <XslTransformation XslInputPath="Path.To.XUnit.To.NUnit.XSLT\NUnitXml.xslt" XmlInputPaths=".\testresults.xml" OutputPaths=".\testresultsfinal.xml" /> </Target> </Project>
