Testing and Quality Assurance

Welcome to the group for the plumbers who keep the community plumbing from leaking. ;)

Testing frameworks such as SimpleTest and Selenium, automated testing, and general community QA initiatives are all on-topic here.

Manual testing is also totally on-topic.

Drupal Unit Testing over Windows

I'm suffering a very slow behavior running the Drupal Tests, never ends to run the tests, the others parts of the site works fine.

Any thought about what may is happening ?

Jenkins and Phing templates for continuous integration

We've been working on implementing continuous integration for our projects to improve code quality. In the process we've built two templates which should make it easy to setup CI for new projects and want to share these with the community. Hopefully you'll find it useful!

Behavior Driven Development with Drupal – Behat module released

Hi there Testing group!

I'm happy to announce the release of the Behat integration module which allows developers to write tests for a Drupal site (or module) in "BDD"-style. BDD is a methodology for writing software features "outside in", i.e. using plain language to describe a feature's behavior first and the actual test code second. Find more information on BDD at http://bdd.alexo.it.

Testing integration with non-dependencies

Hi all,

Say I have a module A, which has some features which work with module B, but module B is not a dependency.

To test said features, I create a whole new "Test A B" module whose sole purpose is to have module A and module B as a dependency, and run tests against features which require both. "Test A B" module is stored in the "tests" subfolder of module A.

Wondering if that's the best approach, and if you are using any others.

Thanks,

Albert.

Testing against third-party DB

Hello,

I am developing module which provides integration with another software. I am using different "target" in settings.php to access DB for this third-party application.

Now if I write test, I need to have this target defined in test case too. Right now I am defining it manually via Database::addConnectionInfo in setUp() method, but this is not portable..

Any ideas how to do such type of testing?

Regards,
Pavel

Defining the Drupal 8 testing gate

Hi there, testing team! :)

Back at DrupalCon Chicago, Dries outlined a strategy for Drupal 8 involving a series of "gates" that would help ensure core code quality in a number of different categories: Documentation, Performance, Accessibility, Usability, and Testing. The purpose of gates is to define essentially a set of "checkboxes" which outline the most important aspects to each category, and does so in a way that is both not overwhelming to core developers (list of hoops to jump through is kept as small as possible) and also creates very little additional burden on the team in question (contains sample links to documentation/resources so developers/reviewers can help themselves).

Since we have already traditionally had requirements around documentation, it made sense to start there. Jennifer Hodgdon and some other folks from the documentation team have put together the Documentation gate, which is available at http://drupal.org/node/1203498. What we need is a similar table for each of the other gate areas. And that's where you come in! :D

PHPUnit testing in relation to Drupal. An overview.

Several efforts have been made to create a workable way of PHPUnit testing into drupal development. It goes back several years, but it's still actual. Information about PHPUnit and Drupal is heavily distributed on d.o and other sites. Here's a list (not exhausting) of discussions, projects, etc. Purpose of this list is to have a reference of what has been done, tried, etc before. Please feel free to bring in more...

What is the state of unit testing with Drupal today?

Hi there,

I'm coming back to Drupal after a brief hiatus, and although I've looked around, I can't seem to find any up to date information about how best to unit test Drupal (I'm using D6 for now, but I haven't found anything for D7 either).

I'm asking about Unit testing, because my [previous experiments with Integration Testing seemed unusably slow][1], and although there is this [article here on lullabot][2], it's about 4 years old now, and it seems somewhat out of date.

Outstanding Progress on Selenium/Simpletest Integration

I want to make sure that everybody in these groups knows about the fantastic simpletest + selenium integration work that ygerasimov has been doing. I just tested out his Selenium module (7.x) and it worked fine for me.

Here's what I did:

  1. Install Selenium module and start Selenium Server as described in the INSTALL.txt.
  2. Installed the Selenium Test Example sandbox for sample tests.

Test Case Management Tool?

Can anyone recommend a FOSS test case management tool? We're looking for something simple to organize our test suites and cases.

Reporting and integration with bugtracking (Mantis) would be awesome.

I've looked around and see there are a lot of options (http://www.opensourcetesting.org/testmgt.php), but hoping for some insight and feedback on particular tools. Thanks!

Simpletest with multilingual sites

i am using simpletest with a multilingual drupal 6 site. whenever simpletest executes a link, by using clickLink or drupalLogin for example, the url gets corrupted.

this is because the language code always appears twice in the url. for example: http://example.com/de/de/node.

i was wondering if someone else ran into this issue when testing a multilingual site with simpletest? do you know of any workarrounds / fixes to this issue? (http://drupal.org/node/944066)

thanks a lot,
josef

Love to get some feedback. Please consider retweeting if helpful:

SimpleTest Help

Is there any site or group where it is appropriate to post questions about using SimpleTest? I'm currently struggling with SimpleTest performance on Windows. A DrupalWebTestCase takes many minutes to execute and I can't figure out if this is expected or what to start changing. I'd like to find somewhere that people have described how they've setup their Drupal environment to do TDD.

Soliciting feedback for graphical Drupal promo video

Sorry if someone thinks I'm cross-posting too much, but I just wanted to get opinions from everyone who might have a stake in this :)

Alright, so I'm trying to think how I can do my part for this little community, and since I've got some degree of proficiency with Adobe Premiere and After Effects, I thought I might be able to put together a little video to explain exactly what Drupal is. I'm envisioning something with a catchy beat, and graphic/text elements -- no voice-overs. I'm in the really early stages of thinking about this, but I'm considering this picture to be my biggest influence right now as to the feel of the presentation:

(I really like the tetris-like style of it, and think that's something to work with!)
