testing

First, for those that don't want to read the full post, here's the "30-second elevator speech":
This post to to discuss using Seleinum with Drupal. Specifically using Maven to run the selenium tests and writing the Selenium tests in Java.
The example code be downloaded from the Workhabit Inc. public repository here: https://svn.workhabit.com/svn/public/drupal/selenium/trunk
One must have the following installed to run:
1. Firefox
2. Java 1.5+
3. Maven
All 3 are easy to install and aquire. Once you download the code from the repository, you can just navigate to the directory and run:

We now have a testing framework in Drupal core. What we need to move forward is some structure that makes writing tests easy and efficient so that we can go towards our 100% code coverage goal without wasting development resources.

Validating HTML Fragments
I am currently working on code that generates html fragments. Simple Test out-of-the-box does a great job helping you test entire http pages, but only it if goes and gets them itself. I could not find any easy way to load in a local page/fragment. So I did it the hard way:

Hello all,
Sorry for cross-posting; but I think people working on different aspects of Drupal may have interest in this idea.

I've submitted a SoC 2007 Drupal proposal on automating the whole process of creating a complete Drupal site with a LAMP stack in a self-contained virtual machine image. A formatted PDF version is here:

Here is the abstract:

The Drupal automated staging toolkit is a proposed set of code libraries, file schemas and parsers, and code generators, for

Hi there, I have some interest in building a Drupal becnhmarking suite that can be used for testing the impact of newly proposed patches on our beloved content managemanet framework.

Hi,

I am currently working on the views scheduler project (SoC), i just wanted to give you guys heads up that currently it is open for testing and that i would really appreciate if you could have a go at it an report back any bugs/feature requests.

Project @ http://drupal.org/project/view_scheduler
cvs @ http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/modules/view_schedule...

What does views scheduler do:
It allows for the scheduling of views and linking any scheduled view to any number of actions.
