A new next-stable branch on Galaxy central is currently scheduled for tomorrow ( 3/18/13 ) in preparation for the next Galaxy dist release currently scheduled for 4/1/13.. This means that the main tool shed will be updated tomorrow to this next-stable branch. This branch includes a new tool shed test framework component that will discover all tool shed repositories that contain tools. It will inspect these repositories for tests defined for each contained tool, and test data files for the tools that must be contained in a test-data directory within the repository. For those repositories that meet this criteria, the test framework will install the repository into a Galaxy instance and run the functional test defined for each tool. Information about the results of these tests are uploaded to the repository for users to see and review. Repositories that contain tools that do not have functional tests defined or that are missing test data files in the required test-data directory will be updated with information about the invalid functional tests. This new test framework will be executed against the main Galaxy tool shed on a regular schedule by cron. This release includes other features that will filter out invalid or unwanted repositories in the tool shed as well. These and other features will be discussed during the next IUC teleconference and will be documented in the tool shed wiki before the next Galaxy release currently scheduled for 4/1/13.

Maybe its possible to run a few selected toolshed tools in an automatic test suite before each release or after such large changes. We have really complex tools in the toolshed that uses mainly all features available.
Have a nice weekend! Bjoern
