Hi, I have been asked to look at test automation for our Drupal 7 projects. I seem to remember from discussions over beers at the few meetups I've been to that some of you in this group may know a lot more than me about this topic. I've used Simpletest and written tests for modules but our aim is to work towards having a full regression test suite.
Any pointers welcome.
Cheers, Alfred

At the moment you'll probably find more people who have used Behat with Drupal.

Personally I'm still not sure, although I like this quote about Cucumber (the Ruby equivalent of Behat):
"Don’t use Cucumber unless you live in the magic kingdom of non-programmers-writing-tests"
