Nightly Builds and Duck Typing

I've been on an ANT kick lately and tonight I decided to whip up a build file for Mach-II.  A couple things came of this...

  1. The ability to do nightly builds of the framework for everybody that does not want to use a bleeding edge release from SVN.  While they probably won't be nightly at the moment, the latest nightly builds can be found at http://www.mach-ii.com/nightly/
  2. The ability to create duck typed cores of the framework for production systems.  The ANT build file right now has a 'buildDuckTyped' target which will create a duck typed build for you by regexing the right stuff out of a typed core.  When Mach-II 1.5 goes stable, I suspect we will offer a duck typed core.  I haven't checked on what the speed improvments would be, but I would be curious for those who do load testing extensively.  Let us know if you want to do this testing for us.
  3. I've also been experimenting with Selenium Remote Control (UI functional testing) in addition to CFCUnit at my day job.  We have test harness application and I would like to create Selenium tests that would verify all of the test cases we have created.  There are many things that are easier to test by running a request through CF and much easier than creating CFCUnit test cases for the framework (anybody want to do this?).  So I can see use moving toward better testing of the framework through Selenium and CFCUnit when we start working on Mach-II 1.6.
