To cut a long story short, it's really hard to find a specification of the JUnit output file format, but after lots of trying, I had a script that could run simpletests and report the results in a JUnit friendly (Hudson friendly) format, yey!

Find the script attached, there's an extra argument from the normal set, --xml which allows you to specify the directory in which to output the xml result files. Lovely.

Finally you'll want to make a bash script that passes in all the right arguments to the script and then run that from Hudson, as part of the normal build process.

Drupal has many good qualities, but one thing its web site platform lacks is a good way to develop freely on a test site while still allowing content updates to continue on a production site.

This small script allows you to maintain separate test and production versions of your Drupal site. After you've made configuration changes on the test site, this script can migrate them to the production site for you. Your production site stays up while you make changes to the test site, and content created on the production site in that period is preserved.
