It all started with Barry, then Cindy and Frankie appeared. There isn't a lot to be found about Frankie. Cindy is the only bot still used.
Advantages
[edit]- You do not have to install anything on your machine.
- You are probably already familiar with Gerrit and Wikimedia Labs.
- While the tests are running, you can continue using your machine as usual, because everything is happening in Wikimedia Labs.
- Debugging failed tests will be easier, since you will see the browser, logs, screenshots and video of the test run.
Disadvantages
[edit]- You will need internet connection while running the tests.
- You might not be familiar with Gerrit or Wikimedia Labs, so you will have to learn how to use yet another tool.
