stamp provides a simple graphical user interface for running Jasmine based tests against Content Server instances. It is a desktop application for system administrators not used to using Node or other command line tools used to run automated testing, hopefully allowing these users access to these tools so they don't have to spend tens of thousands on proprietary solutions that are never maintained. In addition it provides basic timings for tests, which provides a simplistic tool for tracking system performance over time.

After cloning all that's needed to get the app running for development is:
npm install
gulp
Try gulp --tasks for more information on the various tasks used for development and packaging.
There's a lint task built into the standard gulp tasks. Other testing is yet to be built.
If you're updating electron-prebuilt to use a newer version of Electron remember to update the version number in
.\gulp-tasks\build.js. The variable is electronVersion.
Build is relatively slow and has been split into the package and installer phases. Packaging is creating the basic electron app including the node modules. Installer is creating any OS specific installers that are needed.
As npm has changed to use a much less hierarchical approach to storage of modules the previous method of copying the node_modules to the pacakge is no longer working. Follow the steps below once you're ready to build the package to update the cached copy of npm_modules that is added to the Electron package as part of the buildPackage step. The steps are:
gulp cleanfinal to empty the node_modules folder and the cached copy.npm install --production to install only the modules required for the Electron packagenpm install to install all the dev dependenciesNow you can use gulp to build the package and installers
gulp buildPackage
