 The details of the test framework for WDB are described in the [[http://wdb.met.no/0.6/developer/html/wdb_developer-manual.html#cha:wdb_test-plan|Test Plan]] chapter of the Developer Documentation. Specific installation tests for each component of the WDB system are documented in the System Test Specification of the component.

 ===== Continuous Integration =====
 WDB's source repository is subject to [[http://www.martinfowler.com/articles/continuousIntegration.html|continuous integration]] using [[http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/|CruiseControl]]. Each time anyone commits code into the source code repository, CruiseControl will check it out and attempt to pack a .tar.gz source distribution, unpack it, compile the code, run the unit tests, install it, run the (200+) installations tests on the new source code, and then uninstall the build. After this has been done, the committer will receive an e-mail reporting the result of the build.
+CruiseControl's test procedure utilizes the make distcheck target; thus it is usually a good idea to run make distcheck before submitting code into the source repository.
 The tests are currently run on the WDB project's test server, PrologDev1 (Debian Gnu/Linux Etch x86_64).
