Internally, we use Buildbot to build each commit and run tests on a large number of systems. We also use various static analysis tools to improve code quality and check tests coverage.

There is ongoing work on functional tests framework that will allow to avoid such regressions in the future. And there are plans to add fuzz testing.

Besides that, please welcome Alexander Borisov who’s joined our Unit dev team today. His first task is going to be adding Perl/PSGI support.
