Abstract

Continuous integration (CI) became a very popular approach for assuring quality of constantly growing and becoming increasingly more complex software systems. As usually such CI depends on a limited set of unit, regression, and deployment testing it often cannot explore all the "buggy" corner-cases not often hit in the normative use of the software. Interestingly many of such cases are then more often stumbled upon on "exotic" hardware (and software) platforms, which are generally not in commodity, and often regarded "geek-toys" and not even taken seriously. In this paper we would like to present a few of examples where CI on such platforms helped to point and troubleshoot regular bugs otherwise not revealed on more common platforms.
