Testor is a snapshot management command-line utility that makes tester's routine activities such as snapshot management and Tugboat preview creation easier. It also complements Automated Testing Kit. Among its features are:

• it creates a snapshot of a database and/or files and uploads them to a storage server
• it can run a sanitization process before creating the snapshot
• it fetches the latest database or files snapshot from the storage server and imports it into a target database
• snapshots can be categorized by purpose;  for instance, developers and QA personnel can have their own snapshots
• it lists all the snapshots on the storage server
• the snapshot server can be S3-compatible or an SFTP server located locally or in the cloud
• it can be run for a Drupal installation (default configuration) or any other PHP project
• it can trigger a preview creation, updating or deleting in Tugboat
• it can configure target environment for Automated Testing Kit

Testor currently works with Pantheon and local snapshot tarballs.

Coming up in a future release:

• working with other hosting providers
