-Travis is a ci service that's well-integrated with GitHub.
-The following types of breakage should be detected
-by Travis builds:
-
-1) Failing tests on any supported version of Python.
-2) Pandas should install and the tests should run if no optional deps are installed.
-That also means tests which rely on optional deps need to raise SkipTest()
-if the dep is missing.
-3) unicode related fails when running under exotic locales.
-
-We tried running the vbench suite for a while, but with varying load
-on Travis machines, that wasn't useful.
-
-Travis currently (4/2013) has a 5-job concurrency limit. Exceeding it
-basically doubles the total runtime for a commit through travis, and
-since dep+pandas installation is already quite long, this should become
-a hard limit on concurrent travis runs.
