Performance testing and historical analysis are more important than this one, so we'll be attacking that first. Leaving this ticket as a 2.0 milestone for now, but it may be pushed out beyond 2.0.

Feedback from OMPI develoeprs:

• Ok to use full MTT client -- no need to slim down the functionality to make it easier to run; willing to take the time to setup some .ini files for common use scenarios and then just run with those.

My thoughts on this:

• We need some "no-op"-like modules for MPI Get and MPI Install that just fill in internal MTT client data structures.
  • Have the ability to point to a specific MPI installation (e.g., supply prefix dir, or perhaps the absolute location of the wrappers, mpirun, and anything else we need) or just find these things in the $PATH
• We should fix #5 first, and/or add a "cache time" for SVN such that we won't check SVN for a new version unless the cache time has expired (or --force is used). E.g., if a developer runs MTT and then runs it again 10 minutes later, it doesn't have to re-SVN-download all the tests.
• We need a text-based output Reporter module to output the results, per #115.

Forgot to say -- we should also be convenient for developers if the scratch dir could be specified as part of the INI file (#208).

Filed the "no-op" MPI Get / MPI Install modules as ticket #209.

  MTT run in tabular format
• Added these parameters for TextFile section:
  • textfile_summary_header
  • textfile_summary_footer
  • textfile_detail_header
  • textfile_detail_footer
  • textfile_textwrap
• Added Hash::Merge and Text::TabularDisplay CPAN
  modules to the MTT repository (to support the above new

So far, several users have been able to test their workspaces using MTT.
