 +===== Build process =====
 +
 +The current MantisBT testing infrastructure supports two kinds of tests:
 +
 +  * Self-contained unit tests
 +  * Integration tests for the SOAP API
 +
 +These tests could be arranged in the following succession
 +
 +  - Unit tests
 +  - Integration tests SOAP matrix build
 +    - Integration tests running against MySQL Community 5.1.x
 +    - Integration tests running PostgreSQL 9.0.x
 +
 +==== Database backend extensibility ====
 +
 +This build will allows us to easily scale in the medium term by adding more databases from those in our supported or experimental phase:
 +
 +  - DB2 Express 9.7.x
 +  - Oracle XE 10g 
 +  - SQL Server Express ( problematic, probably requires Windows license )
 +
 +==== Adding new kinds of integration tests ====
 +
 +As we progress, we will be able to new kinds of matrix builds, for instance:
 +
 +  - file API builds against multiple backends ( database, file, ftp ) 
 +  - authentication API builds against different authentication schems ( Mantis internal, LDAP )
 +
 +Another possibility is to add Selenium-driven tests to our build, to validate that the pages work as expected .
 +
 +===== Publishing results =====
 +
 +The results will be published as checksummed archives, which have a validated quality - they pass ( or not ) the tests as currently defined. This is key information for both developers and early consumers of the build and encourages rapid feedback on versions still in development.
