At TikiFest 2010, we had a discussion about the current state of automated testing for Tiki.

Many tests currently failing

  • ex: WikiParser tests
  • Only seems to happen in Alain's windows setup. Ignore for now.

There are some tests in UpdatePagesTest which are really slow

  • Alain will look at it with Rodriguo.

Test infrastructure does not seem to run properly for different people

Unit tests versus integration tests

  • Why is it so hard to write and run integration tests?
    • Often, can't include lib files in the tests (compilation errors). Why is that? Is it enough to include tiki-setup.php?

Restoring the DB to initial state

  • Different people use different approaches. Should we have a standard way of doing this?

Continuous testing server

  • Anybody looking at this still?
