In my presentation I will focus on my project during Google Summer of Code program (mentor Hisham Muhammad). I will tell basic informations about this program and then continue to talk about our main goal, which was to increase quality of LuaRocks test suite, use new features from Lua unit testing framework busted and how to use / extend this suite. We implemented the new test suite with Lua unit testing framework busted and changed Continuous Integration practice.
