Re: Building backwards in time

Speaking of the subject of long running tests, by the way, there some other
improvements that could be made. To get feedback as quickly as possible, my
team has created multiple projects for the same project but with different
time periods: 1hour, 2hour, 4hour, 1day, ... We do this because we have
tests that can take up to several days to run. Even for shorter tests
resource contention can be a problem. It would be nice if there were a
project hierarchy so that at the top level we could really have different
projects and beneath those levels break the builds down by time or by other
attributes relevant to testing.

Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are
powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities. Quickly and
easily build your RIAs with Flex Builder, the Eclipse(TM)based development
software that enables intelligent coding and step-through debugging.
