Regression tests on Github actions

[pvelissariou1]

Option #1: It seems that the most flexible option for CMMB repos is to use "self hosted runners". This option will require the setup/configuration of a physical/virtual Linux machine with the docker software installed. We might need minimum 8 cores and about 64 GB memory.
This option gives us the flexibility to maintain both the runner machine as well as the container.
The current limit of cpus in (free) github actions for Linux/Windows is 2.
NOTE: we can maintain a Linux VM on the cloud (best approach I think).

Option #2: The other option is paid subscription (using codebase) that provides up to 32 cores. Need to upgrade to non-free organization setup for GitHub. Depending on the configuration of the GitHub organization the charges range: $4-$44 per year/per user. The use of resources cpus/memory is about $0.18/hour (Linux/Windows)

Hi @pvelissariou1
Did you update the test branch on github? I would like to take a look on before the meeting.
Thanks,

Using PW for automated testing

Github repo to look at:

Closed. Github with current limitations is not ready for the task. Will move to:

• CI (light tests; Regression tests on CircleCI and Parallel works #114)
• ParallelWorks (larger tests)

Hi Takis, Based on the number of users would you please provide an estimate for the year. Can we guess how many tests we need to perform and so on? Thanks, -Saeed
