[erlang-questions] Integration testing in Erlang

[Ulf Wiger (TN/EAB)]

I second this.

We use the Erlang Test Server for subsystem tests
and system tests. In the systems we're building 
right now, we have some half a million lines of 
Erlang code (over a million lines of C), and 
about 70 different erlang applications, not 
counting the OTP apps. The Test Server is our 
main vehicle for stitching together automated
tests, and our testers also write test suites for
system-level tests, similar to those Gordon
described. It works wonderfully.

BR,
Ulf W
