Re: [eclipse-ide-wg] Eclipse Mylyn tests infra needs investments or will

[Alexander Fedorov <alexander.fedorov@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Christoph,

Thank you for the pointer, it might work good for "multiple target" tests.
What Mylyn needs is a bit different: it needs a set of test 
instances/accounts for supported CM tools like Jenkins, GitHub, GitLab 
[,Gerrit, Bugzilla] and so on.
The options for how to achieve this are listed here 
https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/issues/3432#note_1184843

Regards,
AF
